Cleaning Mesh Wheels?!

BSM 135i · 08-09-2009, 04:59 PM

I LOVE my CSL's but I HATE cleaning them when washing my car!! Getting into every little corner of the spokes is a B&%$#!

So I was wondering if there's something out there to make cleaning these wheels easier to clean?? What are you guys using on your mesh rims?

EDIT: I'm looking for some sort or brush or sponge to really get into every corner of the spokes (incase i wasn't really clear above).

this is the best thing I've found for any type of wheel:

Poorboys Wheel Sealant and a bi (or tri)-weekly cleaning did it for me.

and CSLs arent mesh.
these are.

try cleaning those on a BMW.

as stated, a coat of sealent will help in the washing process.

Then I'd pick up one of those wheel brushes that the forum detailers sell.

I love that brush. I used it with my STi wheels and with my 1er currently. It gets all the way to the back of the wheel to so the whole wheel minus the inside lip gets extra clean.
