The only time I took the wheels off to clean inside the rim was just before C13's Redline feature. Other than that it was a daily drive so never bothered.

Also what wax do you use?


yes, do each wheel on a different day too as it takes a while, I use alloy wheel cleaner and a pan scrubber thingy with abit of elbow grease!
