    You can also dry the wheels using a leaf blower...and if the wheels are waxed or coated it'll make the job even easier.

      What kind of jack did you use to lift the car? I need to go around the car and pull and put back on one wheel at a time. I have heard the Quik Jack is a real failure.

      i blow them dry for the most part it is the water that runs from the rotor vanes after your finished with the wash that ruins the wheels so you must give it time to drip then clean the barrels as i show if you blow dirty water your causing more of a mess on gloss black

    Great vid, I'm definitely getting one of the Wooly Wormit brushes. Anything that makes cleaning wheels easier for me is a no brainer, I hate cleaning wheels so the better I get at it and the easier it is the less I hate it!
