    How to clean wheels after I cleaned tires!!

    Yup, I goofed. I cleaned and dressed my tires before I did anything to my rims. Would something like ONR be ok to use in a situation like this. I have very very little brake pad dust and otherwise there's nothing hideous looking about them as I keep them relatively clean washing them no less than every 2 weeks.

    Please help as I washed theses tires 3 times to get all the old dressing off and applied 2 coats of dressing and my back is killing me.

    Help please !!

    ONR would work, I have done that and used QD and on clear coated wheels some QW sprayed on a MF and wiped them down. It did the job without hurting the dressing

    No problem, if you have a problem no matter what it is, someone here had the same experience. I once waxed half my hood in meguiars ultimate black in a rush and not paying attention to bottles. I didn't realize it till I started smelling sunscreen. So don't feel too bad.

    Always clean the wheels first and use the excess wheel cleaner to clean the tire with a scrub brush. That way, you save on materials. After you clean the wheel, spread the cleaner to the tire with a soft brush. Then use scrub brush to clean. Then rinse the whole thing after cleaning tire.
