Sure I will.

AND, if anyone should do it its you. He pissed on your WRX when it lost to a VW and he pissed all over your bathroom. I’ll take the driver’s side, you get the passenger side?

If you keep your wheels waxed you should be able to wash them just like the rest of the car (dont use the same mitt/sponge though).

If they are dirty I would wash them with any of the previously mentioned cleaners and then clay bar them. (then wax/sealant)

some wax will collect more break dust

I’ve tried a bunch of types as I’m running all kinds of brake pads from hawk HPS to HT10 and cleaning often is a must if you want the wheels to stay clean.

at this point I’m using wheel wax and autozone generic acidic wheel cleaner. the wax appear to stop the dust from getting to the metal, but I still need the wheel cleaner plus a rag to buff a little or the dust won’t come off.

i just wash my wheels with the car wash soap and another woll mitt. Then use some ice polish. The wheels still get dirty after about 3 stops though 🙂

Possible, but any good wax will make it easier to wash off than no wax at all. I personally would rather live with them getting dirty a bit faster and having them easier to clean.

Awesome spray, you can get it at the dollar store, hands down the best cleaner for anything. works amazing on wheels and brake dust.

i have a couple gallons of that stuff in the garage… i wasn’t sure if i should use it on wheels though. that shit is amazing. you should see what it does to carbon and sludge build up.
