Tips wanted: Cleaning TRD pro wheels (I have 2020+ version)

Call me lazy, but I'm looking for tips/tricks for cleaning these wheels. I'm currently using a microfiber towel and my finger, going through each section. I know there are brushes and drill attachments, but I'm not sure how effective they are or if they are worth my money. Appreciate the help.

 

Bump

 

I'd think something like wheel brush off AMZN would work just fine.

Wheel woolies are your friends, that and a good cleaner...I always use sonax or Adams wheel cleaner.

 

thanks chaps!

 

At least they're not the 4Runner TRD Pro wheels. I've detailed hundreds of Toyotas with TRD SEMA wheels and they're the hardest wheels to clean. Once they get dirty there is no going back

 

Used these today. Makes cleaning way easier

 

Sweet. Truck looks great!

 

Wheel Woolies are a good choice when cleaning the wheels barrels, and spoke brushes where in tighter areas.

Your hand can contour into any part of the wheels that a brush may not get into.

I’m late to this thread but I have the 2020 PRO wheels. I use Griot’s 3-finger detail mitts for 80% of the wheel. They’re great for these wheels. I also like Griot’s (or similar) wheel woolies when helpful and I finish off with a general pass over with my wash mitt. I wash often enough that car wash soap is all I need. I clean the inside barrels when I rotate once a year.

 

Those mitts look handy! We've got 4 vehicles and no one tool works perfectly for all the different wheels

I would also highly recommend two things:
1) Use an iron remover regularly (like IronX). Regular use will help remove brake dust and other ferrous contaminants from building up and embedding themselves in the finish of the wheel. You know all that stuff on your wheels after 5-10yrs that you cant seem to wash off and not sure where/when it came from? Yup, that stuff. You can get some of this off of old wheels but the best thing is to start with new wheels, use regularly and don't let it ever build up in the first place.

2) Wax or seal your wheels regularly. Keeping your wheels waxed will not only help protect from the sun but also will help keep contaminants from building up.

 

I use one of these guy's brushes for wheels, it works well.
