One of the best things I ever did was have an old set of rims opti-coated. Just hose them down and use soap and water. I plan on having my new Camaro rims done as soon as they arrive. Just a thought as it makes black rim care SUPER easy, and you never have to buy wheel cleaners!

The detailer I use charges $75, but I've seen other places charge $25 a wheel.

Agree....but as someone else said it takes almost as long to do the wheels/tires as the whole car. Camaro, 2 trucks, and 2 bikes....I hate washing, that's all I do.

Luckily for me, my wheels have a lot of space between each spoke so I can clean them easier!
