What's the recommended way to clean inside of rims
 
What's the recommended way to clean the hard to reach inside of your rims without using a hand brush? Is there a cordless drill buffer/brush type of attachment that might work? I have the black te37's and the interior of the rim is dusty/dark gray instead of black. Any recommendations appreciated.

i just bought Sonax wheel cleaner to keep the inner part of the rims clean. I recommend you remove the wheel and really scrub that crap off with a soft brush, if its build up. Then use a wheel brush to maintain the wheels after that.

I just use my microfiber wash mitt with car wash soap and it does the trick every time.

You need to make sure you're using the two bucket method so that the dirt doesn't pile up though.

One bucket just clean water, the other bucket soap and water.

The clean water one will allow you to periodically clean off the wash mitt and remove any leftover residue before you put it back into the soapy one.

I have the black te37's also. I use soap and water, boars hair brush and microfiber towels. The key is once u clean them u need to protect them. I use poor boys wheel sealer. Its the only wheel sealer that won't make the matte color shiney

+1 for Sonax. That stuff does wonders for brake dust.
