cleaning wheels
this is a PITA, no question about it.
I have the same problem with the wheels on my F40 and Porsche.
But, I bought a soft tubular brush about 8 inches long, and with some soap and water and elbow grease, you can clean them up pretty nicely. The little squares along the ribs are fussy spots- a soft cloth will get into the squares but the sponges will not.
I have not waxed the wheels- not sure if this would be better or worse- let me know if you see improvement. The super soft tires most of us have and the brake dust just makes a mess- but, thank goodness that we do not have Mercedes pads which are the worst....
