Go to Autopia ( http://autopia.org ) and sign up to download their free e-Book "The autopia Guide to Detailing". It is an excellent source of information on all aspects of auto detailing, including wheels.

The OEM wheels are painted just like the car. I recommend:

a. Rinse
b. Spray bottle with 50/50 solution of car wash/water. Spray liberally and let sit for 5 minutes
c. Agitate with a mitt. For the inside of the wheels use a special purpose long brush. Each spoke has 3 square indentations. I use a tooth brush.
d. Rinse
e. Dry with leaf blower
f. Wax when you wax the car.

anyone been using that new meguiars multi piece rim cleaner? I hate to use any kind of chemical cleaner on my rims, however I feel like I've got the arthritis of an 80 yrs old after spending an hour cleaning my sf winnings. mesh looks great IMO, but its such a pain to clean.
