Go to one of those self service washes that you put the quarters in, they are high pressure. Go later on during a non busy time to do it, so you can take your time.

No problem! I was able to use Blackfire Crystal Sealant on the wheels on my SS, but my SRX is impossible to clean and protect the wheels, might try this on those wheels and even the wheels wells, hopefully will make my life a lot easier!

exactly, a quarter car wash - use the Sonax before you pull in to the bay, hit them with the wand set on RINSE ONLY - no soap,

spray the wheels with hydro2 and hit them again, this is a 5 min job...
