Yeah AG needs to kick you back something Yesterday I grabbed the wheel brush kit to try and get between the spokes and the rim easier (already have the speed master brush) and a gallon of Griots wheel cleaner. Well, this morning I decided to add the DP wheel glaze and another batch of towels.
The only thing though, is that you mention NOT to wet the wheels first. My problem is that there is SO much brake dust generated on these cars on the front wheel that I can actually rinse some off. Should I worry about rinsing the excess dust off or just spray them with the wheel cleaner and get to it.

If this rims are cold and really caked on you can spray the rims with the rim cleaner when there dry

I always start with Steaming them with a Sharkys Steam machine. Both the wheel (any type) and the tire come clean to a new level.

Re: How To: Clean Your Wheels and Tires
Good write up! I always do the wheels first, and I always do the back wheel before I do the front one. A habit I picked up when I was sitting on the ground to do them, and got my butt wet from the water I used on the front wheel. Then when the car is done, the wheels are dry enough to apply the dressing. I do that last. But like others said, do it the way it works best for you. Writing stuff in stone makes for a lot of dust, and that's hard to get off, lol! Then again, sometimes you just gotta try new things to see if it works.
