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.


That's it. Rain. That's why the Wheel Cleaner doesn't work so great for me here.

Whew. Thought I was going crazy.
