Default Washed the car for the first time and those wheels...

Those wheels are a pain in the *** to clean. I'm so used to having 5-spoke wheels. It's still the best 4-dr made.

I was just about to say the same thing. Definitely a pain in the ***.

Exactly why I'm not excited about the 18" Hartmann replicas for winter duty.

Default Huge PIA. The Audi wheel brush works really well.

The wheels take as long to clean as the rest of the car.

Default Very True, thats why I just let them get dirty and clean them over 3 or 4 weeks.

I use teh griots garage finger mit and their brush. Works very well. I actually like the color of the dirty wheels better than the clean wheels. I need to get me a set of the titanium ones.

if you wait long enough they become titanium (quite rare).
