Any suggestions on how to clean the wheels? Same way as the paint but use an entirely different bucket and microfiber? Thanks
Here's a vid. Not my video but always enjoyed videos by scott. Optimum No Rinse and wheels part 1 - YouTube But yeah, use different bucket and everything else for wheels compared to your buckets for paint.
I always wash my wheels, exhaust and wheel wells the traditional way a with a bucket and either pressure washer or hose with a nozzle. No matter wether I do a No Rinse Wash, Traditional Wash, or Waterless Wash. I use my Swissvax wheel brush for the face of the wheels, a wheel barrel brush, and a fender brush. The product I use is Mothers Wheel & Tire cleaner it works great and is very similar to Autoglym CWC but for a faction of the price because a 24oz bottle can be had at any walmart for $5.
I will use Optimum Power Clean as well but as he mentions this was a light clean the time he spent on the barrels, tires, and wheel face.rinsing the wheels. I also use the 2BM method with ONR most of the time (ONR in both buckets) and use that as the rinse for the OPC.
Thanks for the advice. I'm cleaning the car in the garage now, so the ONR is great because you use very little water. The reason I ask, is because I didnt want to use the harsh chemicals in-doors---such as Wheel Brightener etc. I'll use the other bucket and maybe buy some power clean.
You can also use a garden sprayer with ONR mixture in it to help rinse. It really shouldn't cause that much runoff if you don't over do it with the rinsing.
