Just wanted to see how everyone else cleans their wheels. Do you take the tire off everytime, polish them, etc...

Didn't find anything in the search and I thought this would be interesting....

depends on what kind of wheels you have. i've had black replica z06 wheels with the rivets and i used a tooth brush to clean those. i've found that the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work really really well for just a good cleaning whenever you wash the car. as far as aluminum i just polish them like every 3 or 4 times i wash it. chrome just gets a good coat of wax every 6 months or so

Invisible Glass and a microfiber towel does great on all wheels

hose and soap here. I have black wheels and by the time I make 1 stop they have brake dust from the Hawk HP+ pads.

Does anything take all their tires off each time to get a full detail. I know there has to be some clean freaks out there.

I use a powerball most of the time. Works great for me.

Once a month wheels come off and get cleaned on back side and front side

I just scrub them with a wheel brush and eagle one cleaner, get in behind the spokes and the calipers, then hose off. Wax every few months. I take them off every few months too and get the whole weel again.

Glass cleaner here..on chrome. and i wipe them down quite often. once or twice a year i take them off to clean the inside barrels out. As much as i want CCW's i dont know that i could spend $2800 on polished wheels...too much work to keep em shiny

Soap and water, agitated with a soft brush.

Hoops get polished by hand with Mother's Billet. Follow that with Mother's Carnuba Wax.

Centers are clearcoated, so I just give those a coat of Mother's Carnuba Wax.

It depends how much time I have...If I'm doing an all-out inside/outside detail, I'll typically have a bucket specifically for handwashing the wheels(Microfiber sponge). Now, if I don't have a lot of time, I'll use Sprayway glass cleaner with a microfiber towel.

I feel like an *** for not cleaning the the backside of my wheels in 2+ years...
