What technique do you use to clean wheels without getting dirty water all over the place? I am able to wash my car safely and effectively with QEW getting minimal drops on the ground. The problem I have is after applying a cleaning spray to my tires and wheels. On intricate wheels, wiping them clean with a wet mf or mit just isn`t going to get rid of all the cleaner residue. One idea I have is to put a rag on the ground on each side of the wheel to absorb water, and give it a quick rinse with my pressure washer on the ultra low setting. Any other suggestions for wheels?
Engine bay: Assume you`re working on someone else`s driveway or in their garage. Aside from putting a couple large old towels on the ground under the engine to catch any greasy dripping from degreaser/steam cleaning, is there another way to avoid making a mess? Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!!
P.S. In my city (Downtown Canada), it is ok to have runoff hit the storm sewer as long as it has no soap in it, so I am pre-rinsing cars with my pressure washer and pure water before going at them with the QEW, so the wheels aren`t super caked with grime or anything anymore.
