Default Dirty wheels ... :-p

Does anyone know of a wheel that is harder to clean than the freek'n 20 spoke, with some and wide spacing, design of the wheels on a 2013 ES????

I spent hours using Simple Green cleaner, a bucket of water, with a hand brush and a tooth brush trying to get the stoooopid wheels looking clean. After scrub'n and swear'n I eventually declared success by ignoring the brown stains in the corners and up the inside edges of the narrow spokes.

What on earth were the designers thinking, 20 spokes some so close the even a tooth brush won't fit.

Geeeze ...

You should see the wheels on the Genesis G90... I can't imagine having to clean those with caked up brake dust lol.





I use a wheel cleaner in conjunction with any iron remover. I also use a wheel barrel brush and really try to get in there, just try not to breathe it in.

I use the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions wheel cleaner with iron remover, always works well for me, I have the same wheels. I just try not to let it get super caked up on there.

Then I use their Tire Shine

I'd also like to recommend using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray to detail my car, works very well in my opinion.

I realize that I sound like a TW shill, but I really like their new line of Hybrid Solutions. I never used any of their stuff before until recently.
