Had these wheels for months now, they have been everywhere including Nurburgring, and laps of the GP track, take them off the car every two weeks for a clean, and apply jetseal109 to them, they normally come off the car pretty black, this is how they come up with a quick wash with a sponge.
Oh and for Powdercoat haters, they are powdercoated
And back on the car, with a 300mm brake sneaky shot

I used to love my Comps for this as you could reach through the spokes to get the wheels without taking them off
Looks very good, makes a car look alot cleaner IMO

i made a post a while ago asking what was best to keep the wheels from getting ground in dirt, and i found the best way to be to remove them weekly or fornightly and clean and jetseal rather then wash them every other day and just jetseal them occasionally

Wheel sealant is one of the best things ever
I can get to most of the insides of mine with skinny arms It's tricky on the front though because there's not much room between the calliper and the wheel. More room than you have though
I usually clean my wheels last during the weekly wash, it makes a massive difference once the wheels and windows are done They're the finish touches

Imagine how annoyed you'd be if some spastic damaged them whilst fitting new tyres.

I just bought some Poorbodys Wheel Sealant cause I got my wheels refurbed. Took ages to put on thanks to like 15 spokes but will be worth it for ease of cleaning, especially with DS2500's

you say that but when you have silver or white wheels you can always see just behind the wheel an it does make a big difference

Everytime I clean my car it ends up dirtier than it was when I started, so I gave up and dont bother anymore
Clean wheels though

i used to cut my hands up trying to get between the brakes and insides of the focus' wheels pain in the arse.

i dont have a problem with them getting dirty, i just know that if i leave it on there it will stick and become impossible to remove the only way back then is a new refurb

I wouldn't even take the wheels off my car to clean them if I drove a Ferrari.
Cars are for driving mate.
