Wheels - Hardest To Clean

Featured Replies

Who has the short straw on wheel cleaning? I rekon the 16" 15 spoke wheels from my titanium must be up there. Takes me as long to clean them as the whole rest of car. :(



Apply a decent wheel sealant and they're as easy to clean as the rest of the car, I just use a detailing brush on mine, takes oooh 2 minutes per wheel :)

I think I need a brush. Use a cloth just now.

The 16" 15 spoke wheels are a right pain!

10 minutes to spray, clean, hose down and wax each wheel!! That's inside and out though (except wax, my hands are far too big to get beside the caliper and wheel haha)

Edit, that's with strong wheel cleaner, detail brush and spray on/wipe off wax.

I had the 7 spoke but they buckled and am now switching to the 12 spoke ones. Not looking forward to the cleaning.

An old toothbrush is handy too

This is why I love my standard Zetec 5 spokes. Piece of cake.

See a agree there hard to clean but I do like them better than the other wheels too bad there only 4 holes fiesta take or I would put focus ones on lol

I get a foam from BnM and leave for 30s and it washes off easy as he'll and if really want them clean for something I take one off at time lol
