If its a daily driver, I find they need cleaning every other day in summer.
It is a bit of a pain. The body work only needs a wash every week.
Squirty wheel cleaner, EZ detailer brush then pressure wash = 20 mins incl getting stuff out/stored away. Still rather only do it once a week though

I love my white wheels but I've had them white for a good few years now and they're looking tired. I should really get them repainted.

I wanted to get white wheels years ago but keeping them clean is what put me off, especially with the Carbotech pads I run, they're the best pads on the market for my use but bloody hell, they don't half get your wheels dirty and fast!
