I've been using a wheel brush and Meg's All Wheel with good success - inside and out.

I'll hand wipe 'em with a towel to catch the little bit of left over grime.

I've been cleaning the inside's when I rotate the tires.


I like the look of that drill thing though.

Will it cause damage in the long run to the wheel for using Meg's All Wheel weekly?
I searched a little more and was wondering if this Bilberry Safe Wheel Cleaner is the way to go because of the free acid base.

Do like I do and ONLY use the wash soap left over from the car wash .. but you can't go letting the wheels go for weeks and expect no damage.

Take a look at the wheel cleaner your using then every time you use it on your wheel .. use it on your hood. After a few times lets see how your hood looks.

In reality there is no difference between your hood and the wheel .. both are painted and cleared.

I use a chennile loop mitt with the end of my car wash soap. After my last wash I actually put a coat of NuFinish on them, as someone on here had reccomended, and the dust comes off a good bit easier now.

Basically the same as I do but an old sheepskin mitt.
