I just Clean the wheels with a clean cloth after everything drys. I have a Master Blaster helps some.
I think I'll paint my new all black Cayenne wheels black when it comes in. Just left the factory on Halloween day.
Think I'll name him Spooky!.

Well, it's official- the LEAF BLOWER works like a charm!!! I had been using my compressor but the leaf blower puts out such a fat barrel of high velocity air that it just blows all the water out! Great side effect is that it dries the tires well too and around the lug nuts. You can put your tire dressing on sooner too!

Thanks for the great tip!!!

Mind you my wheels are five years old, and look brand new
I am not letting Mr. Clean anywhere near my nuts!

It's funny but I use my Shopvac for vaccuming the inside then I just roll it out of the way and wash my car. I then use the shopvac in the blowing position(I let it blow for 5-10 seconds facing away from my car just in case anything flies out) to blow off my rotors and the water that gets trapped in my mirrors.
