Re: Wheel Cleaning?
You are pretty much screwed until it dries out from the snow and rain. Its just almost impossible to keep them clean in these conditions.
Do remember to use not abrasive brushes, they make wheel/tire brushes I recomend you get one. Spray down with a simple green start at the bottom of the wheel(so you don't get run marks is why you start at the bottom) then scrub remember to rinse brush and wheel. May need a couple of passes when clean rinse well with water - let dry.
Remember any towels/brushes you use on wheels do NOT touch paint, I use a finger brush or a rag wrapped around my fingers to get into tight spots, constantly changing for cleaner towel as I go. Dunking and rinsing as go along.
Then remember to wax the wheels as you would the paint, it really does help the brake dust slide off. You just have to have a regular wash schedule for this to work well.
And swap your brake pads over to a full %100 ceramic or a high end blend(Hawk HPS is a blend but a really good one) that will throw a more grey dust than the bright red stuff that the OEM pads do.
Of you can do like I did with one car, do the Ceramix(napa pads) and then install a set of full face smoothies.. No dust ever.. No holes for it go through.. Ok before I did that, it wouldn't be a week between cleaning the front wheels with OEM pads they would be so nasty, swap to Ceramix went to two weeks before you noticed the front wheels had changed colors three to before you knew you had to clean them.
