How To: Clean Wheels and Tires
When you are cleaning your wheels and tires you want to make sure you use a product that is safe for all wheels. You do not want to use a wheel cleaner that has harsh cleaners or acid in them. You also want to read the instructions on the bottle and make sure you use the product the right way.
Products used:
? DP Gel Wheel Cleaner
? DP Wheel Glaze
? Foam Applicator
? Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
? Clean Wheel Lug Nut Brush
? Long Handle Tire/Wheel Brush
? 5 gallon bucket
? Microfiber Towels

Process:
? Always Start cleaning your wheels before the rest of your vehicle
? Fill a 5 gallon bucket with 3-4 gallons of water and 1-2 oz of auto soap.
? Make sure the wheel is cool to touch, and then spray the wheel, tire, and wheel well with DP Gel Wheel Cleaner. Let the product dull for 30 seconds to 1 minute (If the wheel is really dirty you can let it dwell a little longer)
? Now dip the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush into the 5 gallon bucket and start cleaning the inside of the wheel.
? Then dip the Long Handle Tire/Wheel Brush and clean the face of the wheel and get as much as you can with the brush
? Now take the Clean Wheel Lug Nut Brush and finish cleaning the wheels making sure you get all the spots that you could not clean with the Long Handle Tire/Wheel Brush.
? You can use the Clean Wheel Lug Nut Brush and Daytona Speed Brush the clean your brake calipers
? Once you have finished cleaning the wheels grab the Long Handle Tire/Wheel Brush and dip it into the 5 gallon bucket and the clean the wheel well and tires. For hard to reach areas in the wheel well you can use the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
? Once you have finished cleaning the wheels, tires, and wheel wells rinse off the tires and continue the process on the other wheels.
? Once you have finished cleaning your vehicle go back and dry your wheels and tires with an old Micro Fiber Towel.
? Now take the DP Wheel Glaze and Foam Applicator and apply a thin layer on your wheels.
? Once you have applied DP Wheel Glaze on all the wheels go back and buff of the residue with a microfiber towel (one you don?t use on your paint)
? Now apply your favorite tire dressing to your tires.
 
That is exactally the same process I use. Just different products.

On top of that. the advice giving is so elemetary its pathetic and inaccurate. I'm hoping OP is not going to go thru the whole series of how to detail a car. I beleive I would just as soon lay on a grenade and pull the pin :soldier:
