RE: Wheel washing

It is advisable to wash the wheel after cleaning, no way telling what it
is"the stuff" going to do if left unrinsed, a couple of buckets will
probably do the job,

>>Costco for great wheel cleaner "Oil Eater Cleaner/Degreaser"

I have been using it for a year, unbeatable stuff, works wonders,

I am currently using a brake cleaner that comes in a black pump spray
bottle.
Spray it on, scrub a bit with a sponge on a stick and hose it off. The
directions warn to wash it off in 30 seconds. The problem is, my hose is put
away. After the first real frost it seemed prudent. So now what? If I have
to
rinse with a bucket of water, maybe I should use something like this
degreaser
Avi talks about. What do you think? How much rinsing has to be done with
this
stuff? I refuse to be seen black wheels even in winter, so I need a
solution.
BTW, with snow tires on my front wheels seem to get even blacker than with
regular tires.
