QEW & wheels questions . . .

I'm not able to spray down the wheel to remove the brake dust. Whats the best way to qew them without scratching the wheels (painted wheels) from brake dust on the wash mit etc . . (The wheels are always easy to clean on the front, but very dirty on the inside)
 
Not sure I follow you. Do you mean you can't pre-rinse with water?



Anyway, I use a spray bottle loaded up with ONR in my case, and just spray the crap out of the wheels inside and out, before touching them.
 
I can't pre rinse.

The outside of the wheels are not so bad, I use a dedicated microfiber mit and towels to dry. It's the inside of the wheel thats really bad (behind the front)
 
The power puff sponge thing at Walmart works well for doing the inside of the rim. There is also a brush that has a handle with a rod that is covered in large strands availalbe in most auto sections. I carry both at work. If using a rinseless wash like QEW a 2 gallon tank sprayer is helpful for the wheels, wells, tires. If the rinseless wash isn't enough then use a wheel cleaner and rinse with the sprayer. I use a boars hair wheel brush on most wheels. If the wheels haven't been cleaned in a while I'll use a stiffer normal wheel brush. I've cleaned over 500 sets of wheels with a sprayer and ONR. Only time I break out the hose is if there is heavy grit, sand, mud.
