How do you clean tires and rims when doing a rinseless wash

[TRDTACO]

Im new to rinseless washes and recently bought a gallon of the Wolfgang Uber. I plan on using a 2 bucket for the paint but im not exactly sure how to tackle the rims and tires. When I do a traditional 2 bucket I start with a dedicated wheel and tire cleaner and do them first. Without dragging out my hose I was wondering how some of you were tackling your rims and tires? Thanks

I do rinseless washes every once in a while but still rely on my regular washes to get more of the "dirties" (wheels, tire sidewalls, wheel wells). When i do a rinseless wash i do the wheel wells, then wheels then tire sidewalls last and in that order.

I use a foam gun and a rinse bucket and am like you and do the wheels, tires, wells first with a seperate rinse bucket. With rinseless washes i simply reverse the order and do those items last because it cruds up the rinseless solution fast.

For rims I use an old MF towel an the left over RW. Then just dry. I usually wash my tires with a brush and APC in the driveway (I RW in the garage).

I clean cars in business parking lots with no water source. Here is how I clean the wheels --- Optimum Power Clean diluted 3.1. Spray down the wheel with Power Clean and then dunk a clean black microfiber towel into your Rinseless Wash solution and start wiping the wheels but never reintroducing the towel back into the solution. One towel should work for two wheels and tires on the drivers side, then grab a clean towel for the two wheels and tires on the passenger side. Power Clean is safe on all surfaces so there is no worry about damaging the wheels. Then take a dry black microfiber towel and dry the wheels as needed. Always wipe tires last when cleaning or drying

When doing a rinseless, I use a microfiber towel to clean my wheels and the inner barrels. Same concept as when doing a rinseless on the paint. This is on my personal vehicle so built up brake dust is not something I have to deal with.

For tire I will also wipe them with a dedicated towel. If I need to get tire dressing off and apply a fresh coat after a few weeks, I will use Mother Back to Black Tire Renew.

I have dedicated towels for wheels and tires.

A spray bottle of diluted rinseless at the same dilution as the bucket works well for wheels in combo with that old towel or brush so you do not have to put it back in the clean water.

More wheels I used the rinseless residue. For tires you can use Mothers Back to Black Tire Renew or use an clean/dressing product like Poorboys BoldnBright.

If you are worried about ruining your nice towels buy the towels sold by a certain warehouse retailer (36 towels/$15). I'll use one or two for all 4 wheels and then use them to wipe down real dirty bits like the engine bay then throw them away. Not worth wasting the water needed to wash them clean.

If you are doing a 2 bucket rinseless just pour the leftover wash (after doing the paint) into your wheel bucket. Clean the wheels like normal and dry.

I agree with using Mothers Back to Black tire renew. It works great without water
