guys great work because it's gorgeously clean. Like Dan, I myself have a person who cleans my wheels very well. I taut him (my grateful cool teenage nephew) how to wash rims with out scratching any rims.He is very good on cleaning the wheels now. Now he washes the families wheels for extra cash. hahaha.
