What do you do to make your Wheel Cleaning Easier

[Bill D]

Wheels tend to take the longest part of the whole wash for me. I'm obsessed with cleaning the barrels and this takes the most time per wheel. Thank God for low dust brakes on one vehicle I wash. Washing its wheels is a breeze.

When I owned German cars, it was a lot harder because I was having to go after brake dust in all of the recessed lug nut areas. That was a pain and the only way to get it perfect was to remove the wheel.

If I want the barrels spotless I have to put the car on my lift and clean wipe from the underside

Showoff!

Nah. Showoff is making a whole thread about it with pics. Not my style

I hit mine with a little Bilt Hamber Touchless at 4% PIR

I don't have a benchmark - usage time enough on this ....but BH Touchless or even Auto Foam.....at some point, that high PH will start making a dent in whatever LSP is on the wheel - unless one prescribes to spray and seal, in which sealing it back up is not a issue. (The thought has crossed my mind to try it to see if it removes not the road film but the soft pad film....)

I love that it is fairly touchless but that high PH comes with a price on the LSP

I pray for a whèel cleaner that clings to the wheel and truly safely cleans any type of wheel surface that has any kind of coating without agitation. Basically spray on,dwell,rinse off with no tools. I have found there seems to be some shortcomi ngs to products that come close to accomplishing this at the moment.

Do you use a pressure washer?

HP doesn't work IME with soft pad compounds.

No, I never let them get that dirty that I need to use one
