Cleaning your wheels at the carwash tips

Some tips for cleaning your wheels. If you want to see your wheels shiny and looking brand new, I have discovered some off the shelf products that are easy to find and actually do a very good job of removing brake dust and grease.

The trick is to spray the wheels with the wheel cleaner, leave it for 30 seconds and then use high pressure soap to wash off. the result will be a fantastic shine.
