    Those look great. This summer I did a major clean. My son gave me the strangest look :eek:ut:

    They looked great for 2 days, I'd actually hoped it might reduce the amount of brake dust that makes its way to the front of the rims, but it didn't.

    Seeing as how I'm not entering any shows, unless I have a lot of time on my hands or I'm about to sell Spike, the 'full wheel clean' is not happening again :frown2:

    Only every tire rotation, about 5K miles or so. Takes a couple-4 hours, depending on what else is going on. Not like you have to get out dental floss:arf::Thumbsup:

    You guys should try Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner sometime. That stuff gets everything off, even baked-on track brake dust. It's not cheap at $20 a bottle, which is good for about 3 cleanings.
