Clean wheels, inside and out, no scratches
I found a wheel cleaning device which is a glove made of small microfibers on Scott Bley's Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing YouTube channel. I decided to try it and I love it. It doesn't scratch the rim, and allows you to get on the back side of the rim, where dirt and oils accumulate over time. I use these both with a wash bucket and with a waterless wash and wax. They work great. Highly recommended. #ad As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Meguiar's professional line of products includes D115, which performs the same tasks. I mix 1 part D115 to 4 parts distilled water in a left over Waterless squirt bottle and have a product that does the same t
