How long to let wheel cleaners "dwell"
I just got some Adams Deep Wheel Cleaner and the instructions say not to pre-spray the wheel, just apply the cleaner liberally and let it dwell.
But how long do I let it dwell?
Do I just leave it until in changes colour completely and isn't changing colour anymore?
I don't want to let it dry on the wheel but I also don't want to start at it with the brush before it is done working.
Any advice?
And should I expect this stuff to be able to remove the stubborn brake dust that gets stuck in the corner where the spokes meet the drum?
If I get it all off I might Zaino the rims and see if that helps keep the dust from sticking, especially in the crevasses.
Thanks!

Let it dwell until there is a color change. It will remove all metallic particles but not grease, tar, or anything similar. Adam's also has an instructional video on their YouTube channel for it.

But they are different products. So give Adam's a call and get specific advice for that particular product.

The wheel should look something like this before you agitate.
If you have a German car or something that makes a lot of brake dust, wait until it looks like this. Adam's is on the right half. Something else in on the left.
If you have a low brake dusting car, only expect it to get to about this color.

Thanks guys, very helpful.
And one wheel at a time or spray all 4 at once?

I do them one wheel at a time so that the cleaner does not dry on them.

One wheel spray on, agitate then rinse off and wipe down.

Like SYMAWD said, allow it to change colors so that you know its working properly. Do one wheel at a time and be sure to thoroughly rinse out the wheel when you're done.
