I know that a lot of you guys get frustrated trying to clean wheels (5 series wheels are really complicated, besides mpars haha).

here is an easy way to clean your wheels no matter how much brake dust or road grime is on them. only takes about 1 1/2 mins per wheel too.

What You Need:

DP Cleanse All Exterior Cleaner (http://autogeek.net/dp320.html)
EZ Brush (http://autogeek.net/ezdebrfca.html)
Car Shampoo (http://autogeek.net/pbss32.html) (NOT Dish soap as it is bad for the finish)
Armoral Tire shine (the $3 spray can at Walmart)

Take this one wheel at a time

Step one: Rinse Down wheels and wheel wells (get everything completely wet)
Step two: spray DP Cleanse All liberally on wheels and wheel wells
Step three: let everything soak in for about 30 seconds, then use the EZ Brush and get in all the holes
Step four: Bend the EZ Brush in half to form a 90 degree angle and hook the brush into the holes to scrub behind the spokes (?)
Step five: Use old sponge and scrub (lightly) the face of the wheels
Step six: Scrub wheel wells with old sponge
Step seven: Rinse everything down thoroughly (including brush and sponge)
Step eight: While washing your car,pour some car soap on the old sponge ( DO NOT Contaminate the wash bucket with dirty sponge!!!)
Step nine: Rinse after soap starts to dry up.
Step ten: When your car is done drying, spray the tires and wheel wells (twice on the wheel wells) with the armorall tire foam

Afterwards, appley some sort of sealant if you want to have easy washes later on.

Here are some pictures from my car that i washed, and waxed today
