How many thorough cleanings of the wheels could you buy for $9k? Train the neighborhood 12 year old boy to do it your way, pay him $40 and a Launch Control 0-60 for every cleaning. Once a week for 4.33 years.

I use to use the Speed Master brush but I found this works better for me.:

ceramic pads go a long way to keeping them clean also, and they are fine for the street.

This is my routine on my GTS Centerlocks.

1. Pressure wash all the wheels and tires first.

2. Spray the tire with Griot's Rubber Cleaner and the wheel with 1Z ColorTech, Griot's Wheel Cleaner or Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel depending on how much brake dust I have.

3. Clean tires with small nylon brush from Target. Rinse just the tire portion.

4. One bucket with double grits on a bucket roller. Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss with several brushes. I use the large Wheel Woolies for wheel barrels making sure I rinse before getting into the bucket again, medium Wheel Woolies for in between spokes, wheel brush for Centerlocks and Calipers and Microfiber Madness Incrediflair mitt for the front and behind the spokes.

5. After wheels are dry I use Meguaiars D156 Detailers X-Press Spray Wax on the spokes and Adam's In and Out on Center Locks.

About 1 hour of Zen Wheel cleaning. I don't consider the GTS CL to be hard to clean. I can get the Wheel Woolies behind the calipers and all the way to the back of the barrels.

I concur.
