    So it turns out I was overthinking it. You ever overthink something? I did. I just washed the wheels with Diablo, tires/wells with CG grime reaper at 4:1, and after scrubbing used 3 workhorse mf's to wrap around the base of the wheel before rinsing. I rinsed the area by dipping a long handle wheel brush in ONR, and flooding the area with it. The towels worked pretty well at absorbing the water. Then I just rinsed the towels out, wrung them out, and used them for the next wheel. I was able to wipe up any excess.

    Thanks, Kyle. I'm sure that's exactly what you meant by old towels. For some reason I pictured bath towels until I was loading up stuff.

    Wouldn't bath towels work too? :shrug:

    But great you figured it out! I think as a project, I wanna make a water reclaim system.. like denzil said: just a tarp, some foam for a birm, and take some PVC at the end for a drain pipe.

    Yep, they would work too, but I don't have any old ones. But old mf's, I have a ton of those.

    And yeah, a reclaim mat would be a nice project. What do they cost brand new?

    Lol.. like $1200-1500. Already found a tarp for $40 shipped, and not the ugly blue :p.

    Foam.. MAYBE $50 worth to creat berms. PVC outlet to a RO filter.. maybe $100 max. Then a pump to a small water tank. Hell, if you go RO to CR spotless to pump out the water, you can reclaim it and use it again I assume :shrug:
