IMPORTANT CARE ADVICE

Congratulations on choosing to fit AlloyGator, the

Award Winning Alloy Wheel Protection System.

Please read and follow this care advice to get the

best results from our product. You can also visit our

website and view our range of 'How To' videos.

Cleaning your AlloyGators

When cleaning your vehicle it is very important that

you do not use acid based cleaning solutions. This

type of product will damage the profile in the same

way that, over time, it will damage the surface of

your wheels. Many car washes use this chemical for

speed and most wheel manufacturers/refurbishers

will also recommend that it is avoided.

Cleaning up minor burrs using the

Keyring Clean-up Tool

If the profile is damaged, it can be smoothed off

using the supplied keyring. Hold at approx right

angle to the AlloyGator, with the writing facing away,

draw towards you as shown in the "how to" video

section on our website.

It is unlikely that you will achieve a perfect result

however you will, in most cases, achieve a good

result which will not be noticeable unless closely

inspected.

Machine Polished Wheels

Our product is not recommended for machine

polished or diamond cut alloy wheels. Although

fitting the product will provide superior protection

against kerb damage, if there are existing

imperfections in the lacquered wheel surface, it

may increase the risk of moisture retention and

accelerate wheel lacquer degradation. Providing

there is no minute damage to the wheel surface,

fitting the AlloyGator wheel rim protectors will not

cause damage on its own, however AlloyGator

Limited accepts no liability if the product when fitted

causes such damage.

Despite this, we have many customers with machine

polished wheels, who choose to use AlloyGators.

Many customers prefer to re-lacquer the wheels

should the need arise, than go to the far more costly

and inconvenient trouble of removing the wheels

and having them re-cut and repaired due to damage

caused by kerb/pothole impact without AlloyGator

protection.

Re-fitting the profile

Upon heavy impacts with pot holes and certain

angles of kerbing it is possible for the profile to be

pulled away from the wheel and tyre. Although this

can look quite dramatic in some cases, the product

should have done its job in preventing/lessening any

damage sustained to the alloy wheel/tyre. It is very

important that you do not leave the profile in this

condition.

Even if several inches of the profile is pulled away

from the wheel/tyre, it will still be secure, does

not require removal and can normally be refitted

successfully. If you have fitted the product yourself

then follow the instructions below however if you

have had the product fitted by one of our trade

fitting partners then we would always recommend

contacting them to arrange maintenance:

1. If the full profile has been pulled from between

the wheel/tyre, and the metal clips can be seen

on the back then the tyre will need to be fully

deflated, or;

2. If the metal clips cannot be seen on the back

of the profile then generally the profile can

be knocked back in without deflating the tyre

although letting some air out will help.

3. Hit the profile ideally using a 2lb "dead blow"

hammer (rubber coated hammer containing ball

bearings) on the outer edge of the affected area

(see fig. 5). Water or a water & car wash liquid

solution will aid fitting.
