No need to remove them...I had my wheels powder coated as the barrels were getting pretty ratty. Same silver color. Now all I use is a soft car soap and water and a long 17' wheel brush I bought on Amazon. Absolute necessity for our 997s.

 

Regular light cleaning helps. Every time I wash the car I wipe and clean the wheels with micro fiber cloth, including calipers.

 

And? Who really cares? It's a car.

Having clean wheel barrels is a necessity now?

 

Clean wheel barrels minimizes unsprung weight and maximizes aero efficiency lol

To me it's like flossing. Get that corrosive **** out of there once in awhile and it actually feels nice when you're done.

 

I simply use a (new) toilet bowl scrubber and spray some Griots Wheel Cleaner in the barrels. Easy work and great results.

 

Glad they sell that on Amazon. I'd hate to ask my Auto parts guy for that!

 

I have something similar except it is microfiber. Takes less than 30 seconds to clean the inside of each wheel. If I didn't have this I'd let my interior rims turn black with brake dust rather than remove and install my wheels at every cleaning.

 

I take the wheels off every four or so washes to detail them and the calipers, else I just reach through. Been wanting to get some sort of brush to reach with and make it easier though. Need to wax them though.

 

I just bought a couple bottles of this from Amazon.

 

is it this part number? 99957107430 Sunset describes it as a "wrench"

 

Yup

 

It comes down to use the proper chemicals and tools for easy and efficient cleaning of your wheels.

For me, the Speedmaster brush works best and seem to live long(er) than the similar brushes around. For the cleaning itself I use the Wheel brightener from Meguiars as I buy it in the 1 gallon pack and dilute to what I want.

I take my wheels off every 3 months, just because I like clean wheels.
If you clean and wax the barrel, they stay much longer clean and do require very little job to keep them like that.
To finish of I degrease the tires and apply water dressing. Forget the long lasting silicone base thing as it shines very good but turns into ugly brown after a few weeks. The water based dressing is easy to apply and last a few weeks.

There is in fact no need to take your wheels off if you prepare them well in spring time and if you wash your car and wheels on a weekly base. I run these Textar brake pads which generate a big mess but a simple wash and the wheels look new again.

 

I use a set of "Wheel Woolies" and a lug nut brush to clean mine. Whenever I have them off for other reasons, I usually clean the inner spokes and other inaccessible areas at that time. The wheel woolies are also great at cleaning the calipers without having to remove the wheel.

 

Thanks for pointing out that it wasnt a used toilet bowl brush. Either way- id like to see the reaction of someone walking by as you toilet brush your wheels.
