    Spray & Wipe

    I was in the garage and the BMW I hit w/PWC last Sunday was looking dirty, it rained some this week, even today when we were out it was pretty messy. Sometimes I forget how easy, quick and good S&W is.

    In 10 or so minutes it`s looking awesome again!

    I haven`t tried it on the wheels though... the glass and everything else looks great. Does anyone use it on alloy wheels? I figured to try it in the am with a hose handy but wasn`t sure...

    I use it on alloys all the time, in fact I use it on tires and wheel wells too.

    I like to mist S&W onto the wheel, then lightly wipe with a dedicated MF. I then reach for another clean dedciated MF for the final wipe.

    I like to use a seperate set of MF`s for the wheels because of the metalic properties of break dust. In other words, once they are used on wheels, the are on "wheel duty" forever.

    Thanks for the tip, I just did two cars including the wheels (it`s raining outside again today, need to cleanup then go to the Mitty historic race at Road Atlanta), it took 25 minutes total and they look great!

    You can`t beat that.

    I use it on my wheel all the time ...
    I apply UPP to my wheels every month or two and cleaning with S&W leaves that super slick feeling after use.
    This combo sure makes quick work of keeping wheels looking great
