Clean difficult to reach part of the wheels?

[KnightAzul]

I've been a lazy git for the last two years and only cleaned the outside edge of my 182 wheels. How do you get to clean the inside edge then? Is it just a case of lying on the floor and reaching around, or is there some other smart trick??!!

I try to do mine with a wheel brush through the gaps of the alloys, but in the summer I usually take them all of and give them a good clean..

Get a wheel brush that you can bend, so you can clean behind the wheel.

Why clean the bits you can't see? Do you do it just to stop them corroding?

I just us a angled brush from TES*O to do them brings them up great

Get the wheels off one by one, AG Engine & Machine Cleaner should get rid of most of it, work it in with a paintbrush, hose down then do the remaining bits with a Halfords alloy brush. Dry them off then wax them, once you've done that once they will clean easily in the future, most crap will come off with just a hose and a quick once over with an alloy brush.

Sounds like a lot of work but I did exactly that yesterday, only took an hour and a half or so and its a twice yearly job at worst.
