With a tooth brush of course!

If you are under 45 you probably won't get this.

I use Meguier's Tech Wax on the wheels as well and they shine up beautifully. Even better, it makes the brake dust really easy to wash off.:smile:

My wheels are either Zaino'd or Klassed inside and out. (I have Fliks and S-Lites) Keeps them cleaner and brighter!

ZAINO (And Ritalin... for yourself! Jeez! )

Zaino gives a super-high reflective surface... especially when you clay-bar before applying the Zaino... or clay and polish with a paintwork cleanser (assuming that you have painted wheels).
