It takes me 2 min per wheel with soap and water only.

With those lovely wheels, I can see why. ;) The Carrera Sports on my C2S are pretty easy to clean as well. I'd love to see you do one of my Cayenne RS Spyder wheels in 2 minutes....:D

What is this?
 

What is this, and what does
it do, and what is cost per wheel?

Please and thank you sir!

Is there beer at the end of the job? :cheers:

I don't understand why people need special wheel cleaners. My regular old car wash soap removes all the brake dust, and I go longer than most porsche owners between washings.

It is a real coating (not wax nor sealent) that can be used on paint, wheels/caliper, rubber, and the glass itself (windshield, windows, mirror, etc).
Not one type for all, they have different types of glass coating for each application.
It contains silica hence a real glass coating. Any road debris, water spot, or other kind of foreign objects contaminating your paint will be very easy to (wipe) clean as they stick to silica surface instead of the paint.
Think of it as almost permanent wax/sealant that doesn't go away between washes.

Maybe this review can better explain what it is

Do note, there are lots of glass coating brands, you don't really need to use the most expensive one.
It is more of marketing/brand image than its value. As long as they contain high silica and easy to aplly, that's all you need.

Absolutely! :biggulp:

PCCB.

If your wheels are painted, beyond washing with any mild car wash soap, removing any tars with tar remover (TurtleWax makes an excellent one) and waxing the painted surfaces (including the barrels) with whatever car paint coating product thrills you, the only other treatment needed is snake oil. Lots of that on the market.

I mentioned this above. Apply wax spray with armor all I have found that the next time I wash the car brake dust and grime are easily removed by spraying with water followed by use of a soapy water with narrow brush and cloth works. No dust no grime. Wheels are clean and sparkle

Wax or wheel sealant work great, but personally I like using P21S or Eagle One A2Z wheel cleaner diluted (spray the wheel with water first and then the cleaner) and some elbow grease with a microfiber mit for getting into the crevices. Being that I like to use cleaners like that, I don't bother waxing. If you prefer to not use cleaners, go for the wax/sealant route and then soap and water. I know a guy that puts a coat of wheel sealant from Poorboys on his car every single time he washes. I dunno if the brake dust comes off easier (he only uses soap and water) but he thinks it does :)

Rejex works great. Then soap and water to clean.

any issue with etching on the rim from the acid in the wheel cleaner?

A high quality wheel cleaner should be close to pH neutral. Buy a good product.

+1 for Rejex. When I had some custom wheels made for a Corvette John at CCW wheels recomended Rejex for their pollished wheels. It works great. I use it on all of my cars now.
