What to Do with Severe Wheel Hub Oxidation?
1 Answers
Solutions for severe wheel hub oxidation: Prepare materials including cola, cloth, cleaner, and aluminum foil. Pour cola onto the oxidized areas of the wheel hub, wait for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the cola to react with the oxides. Then, pour cola onto the aluminum foil and use it to scrub the oxidized layer on the wheel hub. Afterwards, spray cleaner and wipe the wheel hub clean with a cloth. Causes of oxidation: 1. The surface is scratched by hard objects, allowing air to directly contact the aluminum and initiate oxidation at the damaged area, which gradually spreads over time with use. 2. The car owner used inferior tire wax during car washing, which also came into contact with the edges of the wheel hub. If the tire wax is not wiped off from the wheel hub surface, the inferior tire wax will start corroding the wheel hub surface.
