Black Stingray wheels
Any one have any personal tricks on cleaning the wheels front to back in those deep wheels? I can get it done with a little doing but wonder if there is trick way that gets the job done.

It takes a little more time, but I just jack up each wheel and then spin the wheel while using a wet rag to get the dirt/grime off the wheel barrel. I follow up with a clean rag to dry the wheel.
The tool in post 2 would work well too.

I recommend the Daytona Speed Master brush for cleaning wheels & the wheel tubs that are tough to get to...The brush will even clean between the rim & calipers, a must have tool

Iron x from car pro is pretty awesome stuff, goes on clear and turns purplish as it eats the dust and iron off, I have a pressure washer w hot water in the garage and I spray them down w that, hit them iron X wait a few minutes and then hose them off again, I rarely do more then that before I foam gun the car but if need be after the foam gun i hit them w my finger shammy while they have the foam on them. Iron x is so good it turned my wifes mini wheels silver..... they were silver, but.....LOl! my buddy came up and said "I see you swapped the black wheels for some silver ones on the mini" I said "no I used this iron x on them they were silver" he said " hmm I always thought they were matte black that were starting to fade a little" he then bought some iron x for himself....
