Examine the new wiper blades. If
they have no plastic or metal
reinforcement along the back
edge, remove the metal
reinforcement strips from the old
wiper blade, and install them in
the slots along the edge of the new
blade.

Slide the new blade into the wiper
arm. Make sure it is engaged in
the slot along its full length.

Lower the wiper arm.

Clean the wheels as you would the
rest of the exterior. Wash them with
the same solution, and rinse them
thoroughly.

Aluminum alloy wheels have a
protective clear-coat that keeps the
aluminum from corroding and
tarnishing. Cleaning the wheels with
harsh chemicals (including some
commercial wheel cleaners) or a stiff
brush can damage the clear-coat. To
clean the wheels, use a mild
detergent and a soft brush or sponge.
