Somtimes washing your wheels is as good as the rest of the car.
Do you ever get to the point during the winter months that washing your car isn't the best use of your time? And if you have white wheels like I do (in the picture are 15x7 FN01R's forged), they get disgustingly dirty after even one puddle. So you do what I do and just wash the wheels!
I also detail the wheels like the rest of the car, with a claybar and wax. Neighbors give me dirty looks and usually tell me "the rest of the car is dirty...." Like most Honda owners, you either put your money into your wheels, or engine. And the other rest of the project gets put on the "To Do." I'm usually the last for JDM bling, or "hard parker" car apperal, but for most enthuasits, you can't let your wheels get caked on by those nasty track pads! It's almost as if I had pat my dog on his head, and looked in his eyes and said,
"Tomorrow, seriously, tomorrow we will go to the park!" as I qued up the Wii for my next round of Guitar Hero III!
