    Is there some sort of good "magical" solution so that I`m not spending 15 minutes cleaning my wife`s Mercedes wheels every time I wash her car? This goes for my California Special Mustang GT 2011 as well which has a ridiculous amount of spokes on the stock wheels.

    EDIT: sorry, you said 15 minute quick clean up. This is a conventional way to clean so it may not apply as it takes a little bit longer :eek1:

    Poorboy`s World Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner. I haven`t tried it myself, but it did get a good review from Todd Helme which is good enough for me. Of all the products I`ve seen reviewed this does appear to deliver the best for what you are asking. A good solid cleaning to start is still necessary and a good sealant on the wheels helps make them easier to clean regardless of what product you use.

    I had a Gran Marquis with the small spoke wheels, could be tough.

    They would get dirty, but since the car was washed once a week, never any real build up.

    I would usually just mist them with water to make sure they were cool and then spray with an all purpose, and use a "round pastry brush", they are like a "parts brush" but softer bristles.

    Could quickly stick it in the spoke area, a slight twist, and such until done, then rinse off.

    A lot of times the all purpose and some water pressure would take care of them with no brushing.

    If really bad, like from one of my two week, driving on business to the east coast, would use the ValuGard Custom Wheel Cleaner, let it dwell for a few minutes and pressure off with water, that really got them clean. (safe product, that they private label for several of the automotive manufactuers)
