Right the worst part is getting the water out of the crevices lol. Someone on another forum mentioned a leaf blower :-x

compressed air.. with some pricey wheels like these, you ought to have a compressor at home?

AMSMIKE 03-17-12 11:16 AM

if you use a brush, I suggest a swissvax boar hair brush. will not scratch the wheels.

Also, compressed air afterwards to get the water/soap out if the crevices as others have mentioned.

I wish I could get the P21S cleaner local. I guess the Harley Davidson dealerships sell a similar product made by them for motorcycle wheels but they are closed today...

Megauirs or like soap and water (been using gold and purple bottle color) as of late with new wash cloths and clean buckets etc... You gotta hits the lips hard tho and like as others have said get the leftover\runoff water off quick and +1 for compressed air or Dust off cans.... I haven't ever done that... Just Learned something myself lol!

Yeah, I used to do that, but not just the wheels, but to dry the whole car, lol. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do that. You should have seen the looks the neighbors gave me.:D
