Do you guys clean behind your wheel spokes?

I just saw these wheel woolies that are angled so that you can clean behind your wheel spokes. I have 20" turbo design wheels

I have never cleaned behind my wheel spokes in my life. Do you guys do this? Is there harm that can come of never cleaning behind your wheel spokes? Any tipsmformdoing this if you guys feel this is necessary?

Yes, maybe not every time but often.

Yes, I clean behind the spoke every wash. I use an old scrubby sponge (yellow & green) after it's too warn for the kitchen. Easy to get behind each spoke. The other critical spot is where the spoke meets the rim from behind. Brake dust settles there and will be a problem if you don't keep up with it. I also do the hub of rotor, the complete caliper and around each wheel nut.

The cleaner you keep the wheels, the longer they will stay clean. I also wax the wheels when I detail the car. I cheat some by using a cleaner/wax like Megiuars to save time, but only on the wheels. I wash the cars once a week so they're never that bad.
