RIM Cleaning - Please Help

Sonex works great. Apply while scrubbing with a brush then rinse off with water. I use shop towels to dry the wheels after. I wanna get a leaf blower heard that's the best way to dry off after washing.

I've always used a leaf blower to dry my vehicles. Cheap, works wonderfully, and really cuts down on water sports. Win, win.

One thing that I have always used is an air compressor with an adaptor that easily fits between the spokes that I can get at the brake calibers to blast out brake dust that has built up. I then use detail spray on a micro fiber towel to follow up. Just make sure you don't forget to get the inter barrels of the wheels as clean as the outside of the rims, other wise the wheels are not clean.
