I'm about to coat some wheels for the first time with McKee's 37 Wheel Coating. I'm reading that this makes them super easy to clean, with regular car soap being sufficient for most cleanings.
As part of my continuing quest to make my weekly car washes better and easier, I'm thinking about how I might clean coated wheels during the 2-bucket car wash process.
So far I have two ideas:
1) Get a 3rd, smaller bucket, and when done washing the car pour some of the "clean bucket" soap solution into the smaller bucket, then use a dedicated wheel brush/sponge. The disadvantage to this is the time taken to clean the wheels - the water beads will be starting to dry on the vehicle paint especially on warmer days. I suppose I could wash the wheels after completely drying the car. That would be different...
This is extremely economical because I'd only be using leftover soapy water that I'd pour out anyway.
2) Mix up some soap solution in a spray bottle and use it just like I would use a wheel cleaner, at the beginning of the wash. I wonder how well the soap would work with the atomization of a spray nozzle.
What do you all do?
