Wow I can't believe we got 4pages on how to wash your wheels!!!! LOL Your bad backs are nothing compared to hauling around and dealing with a full above knee prosthetic leg so go do like I do and get yourself a rolling stool and a bucket of soap and water.

IMHO, I would use it sparingly and not every time. IOW, use it only when regular soap and water just don't seem to be working efficiently enough. I have heard cases where wheel cleaners have faded out the caliper paint. Yeah P21 products are good, but you never know who's changing the formulations - of the product or the caliper paint. Bottom line: the stuff is a strong alkaline.

55. But I function quite well, thanks to modern day trauma medicine! No wheel cleaning for this back!
