period straight after cleaning it, particularly after having cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you

ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up.
