Do you guys just like playing with more toys, or do you go seasons between washes?

Honestly, on the 1er wheels I rarely used a wheel cleaner due to the design of the wheel- it was very easy to just wash down with a dedicated mitt. I sealed the wheels once every few months with a normal sealant like Rejex or the like, and that helped.
On my Z3, I have cross spoke wheels and bolts around the face that are very difficult to clean with the mitt. So I use P21s gel and a Swissvax brush to get in all the small spots, and it works well.
