A: Living in a harsh climate (such as with harsh winters) and driving on rough surfaces can negatively effect the appearance of your wheels.
This is not the case with only Konig product. This is the case with ALL wheels. Our recommendations to those who must keep their wheels on through harsh weather (i.e. winter) is to clean them FREQUENTLY. Frequency will depend on the amount of use, and exposure however removing the chemicals that cause corrosion to the wheels as soon as possible is the key. The chemicals used on the roads are extremely corrosive and will eat through the protective clear coating on the wheels. That is why removing these chemicals will prolong the finish on your wheels. On rough roads debris and dramatic changes in condition can scratch and begin to degrade the protective clear coating on the wheels. For example loose rocks and sand at speed can certainly scratch and cause nicks in the finish exposing your wheel to the elements. While this is common sense for most, the care you provide in the use of your wheels will be the difference on their appearance for the time you own your wheels.
