Ok. So we all have a European Car that sheds lots of brake dust.
I washed my car for the first time, and got an old cloth to try and wipe down one wheel, but it was getting dark (I had left the wheels until last, as I go top down). Anyway, when I was gently wiping, the wheels felt kind of greasy, making me think there was some wax or chemical applied to the surface? I never got around to the rest of the wheels (must try again this weekend!!) and finish off this wheel properly. It made me feel that next time I should get a car with a simple 5 spoke design, so there are less nooks and crannys to clean! I have previously used Meguiars Alloy Wheel cleaner, but given that there seemed to be some wax on the wheel, I was worried about this cleaner getting rid of that layer. I thought about using a brush, but I thought that might scratch the wheels. I'm interested in what do you guys do about it...
