Subject:A question about washing old alloy wheels.
From:Mates, John

Dear listers:

 (This is my second send of this question to the list.  I
 apologize for the double use of bandwidth.  I hosed
 up my first send.)

 I need some wheel washing advice. I've gone on a
 binge and bought twelve alloy wheels for my syncro van,
 assuming I'll need five summer and five winter and
 two will be bad .... yah ... it was a binge ...they
 were cheap.

 Now I want to wash them as efficiently and quickly and
 with as little work as possible and without damaging
 them beyond what nicks and scrapes they already show.

 Shall I use a high pressure washer?  Simple Green and
 elbow grease?  A special wheel washing mix?  What?

 The insides of the wheels (facing in toward the center
 line of the van) are the sides in need of the serious
 cleaning, of course.
