    Thought I would just throw this on here for anyone who uses any type of cleaning spray on their tires. This prevents any overspray from getting on the wheels. Simple and free ,or cheap. Just cut 2 pieces of cardboard to the diameter of your wheel and screw it to a piece of wood to hold it together, and use as a handle.

    Or make it out of another material you like. Makes cleaning much tires easier.

    I did the same thing, except I used two zip ties as a handle. And plasti Dipped the edges to keep it from soiling. Works good.

    Thats funny I do the same thing, only I use just the cardboard and push it against the wheel and spray with the only hand. The neighbor gives me shit about this all the time, but that tire foam leaves a film on black wheels and I think it looks like crap.
