Winter wheel cleaning without a hose
Any advice or tips on what to use to clean your wheels when you don't have running water. ( still too cold in New England) I used some ONR mix and wiped the wheels down with an old MF towel.

You'll find yourself using it to wash the car too, I do and I originally bought it to just clean wheels...haven't looked back! Buy an extra battery and the soap dispenser. I would like to suggest the 4.0v battery option and I believe you can order one this way now and if that's the case, buy an extra 2.0v battery.

Do you have garage? I simply use Wolfgang Uber Rinseless. My Speed Brush gets deep into the wheels and I use my sprayer to keep it loaded as I wash them. Zero issues. Breaks up brake dust/grime with ease.

IMO: sounds like you already
have it under control...

Re: Winter wheel cleaning without a hose
I was not aware of the Worx Hydroshot. I may have to invest in one. I'll also try putting the ONR in a spray bottle. Thanks for the tips and the advice

If you use onr, try using optimum ferrex. It's the recommended way to wash your wheels with onr. You spray on and wait for the red to come out, then you agitate and wipe clean with onr.

Re: Winter wheel cleaning without a hose
I always put a durable sealant or coating on my wheels when prepping them from winter. From then on, I'll go through a touchless car wash that has one of those wheel and undercarriage sprays. By driving REALLY slowly through that spray, the worst of the grime gets blasted off and it carries my through until Spring when I can properly wash them by hand.

Re: Winter wheel cleaning without a hose
I do what you do - basically just maintain with ONR. I do use a spray bottle in conjunction with my buckets to really get in there!
