Is there a better method of cleaning the rims instead of a wet towel and 1-2 fingers?! (Sounds bad, I know)

I spend a good amount of time cleaning those things, just wondering if there's a faster meth.

 

Long-handled wheel brush and your choice of wheel cleaner. Minimizes the towel/two-finger action.

 

Yes there is! I have a 2013 JCW with challenge spoke wheels that have 16 spokes in them! I bought the round swiffer duster kit and dust them off every night. Takes about 5 minutes. Also have the flat swiffer duster kit and dust the whole car. Takes about 10 minutes. Of course the car is garaged here in So. Cal, and we know it never rains in southern Cali. If it does, back to the rag and bucket!

 

Yes there is. I couldn't take it anymore so this is the route I went. Get low dust brake pads like Carbotech then get your wheels powder coated flat black. Problem solved.

 

I used a brush similar to this one for about a year, I purchased it at wal mart. Worked good but still labor intensive. Eventually used VHT brand paint and painted wheels black and glad I did . Car looks great and wheels do not show brake dust

 

 

Looks like a great product. Need to try this one out for myself. But, you still need a good brush to get into the corners of these wheels. That's the real *****!!!

 

I spray them, use a separate bucket with a short handled scrub brush with car wash soap and do a quick scrub before hosing the car and let them sit, wash car hose them off last.

Then I spray wax n dry on them and towel them off, it still sucks but the spray makes it quicker then I spray armor all wheel protector on them.

After the wax, if you wash weekly like I do, it makes it a little easier

 

I use this. Got it for free from autogeek. It came with my wheel wax and cleaner. Works great except for around the lug nuts. They have a brush for that as well.

 

I love autogeek!!!! Great products, fast shipped and good prices. They rock!

 

I use SONAX and high pressure water, no scrubbing

 

Scrubbing those things sucks. Makes me really appreciate my flat black track rims

 

Got fed up and replaced wheels with black Konigs

 

I was going to get one of these and give it a try...

Anyone have any experience with them? My Car Duster set has a small mini duster in it that I've used on my Miata wheels (949 racing 6UL) but not quite the right shape for all the tight surfaces...

 

+1 for Sonax Full Effect.

I will be trying this in the future as my wheels are dipped and it look to work just the same.

I haven't found a wheel spray that works to my satisfaction, so I'll have to try Sonax. In the meantime, I just bought a set of BraunBrush Wheel Woolies from a local detail shop.
