Default Cleaning wheels

Clean wheels on a Macan, yeah, for about 2 days.
Porsche brake material is just about as "bad" as BMW...but, If you keep after the "dust" and don't let it cake up, they are pretty easy to clean
I bought a Toilet brush at the DOLLAR STORE, some dish washing detergent and less than 10 minutes is all it takes.
The brush will reach all the way into the "barrel" and it fits between the "spokes" on my 20" wheels and cleans them too...
OR, you can buy a really expensive long handle brush from G.......Garage....... : the toilet brush works better...
ps. the more I drive the Macan S, the more I like it....4 months and 3000 miles in and I still LOVE it...at this point the 2014 M/B GLK 350 was at the top of my HATE LIST.
What an awful POS couldn't wait for the lease to end (turned it in early)

Two words. Ceramic coating

Cleaning black spyders takes about a minute each with a damp rag.
