Well, it rocks a little less after rain.

Water seems to glue brake dust to the wheels. I did the same treatment yesterday that I had the week before, and the grime just didn't rinse off as thoroughly. The only difference is that the wheels had gotten wet Friday in a very light drizzle. So, I had to resort to bucket, soapy water, and three-finger sponge.

Still, the wheel cleaner took most of it off, and what was left required no more than a wipe with the sponge.

I suppose I could have just burned through a few drying towels and gotten them a little dirty wiping down the wheels after the cleaner and rinsing (I may try that next week), as it would save a lot of time. There's something very satisfying, though, about drying a clean wheel and only getting that white terry towel damp -- not dirty.
