Well, before a show I'll pull the wheels and clean the inside surfaces as well. But with this basic regimen, I've done well at competitions. As an example, at the Old Westbury Concour in September I scored all 30 points out of a possible 30 for wheels & tires. And this is with Type 73's, which most people seem to dislike because of how hard they say they are to keep clean. Maybe I do have some sort of magic system - I don't think they're hard at all to clean. Perhaps it is the BMW wheel brush I'm using - it fits in the spokes nicely and cleans 100% of the area of the spoke in 2-3 passes.
