Just use the soap you use for the rest of your truck... with a diff mitt and brush of course... and then put some synthetic sealant on them... My fav is poorboys wheel sealant....

Exactly .. NXT or #21 will also be good enough.

NXT 2.0 applied with an overpriced powerball worked great for me.

Makes it easier to just wipe the dust off.

No I always did it by hand. I bought a power ball last year and never used it. Thanks for reminding me lol.

I imagine doing the wax on the wheels by hand would be a major P-I-A!!!!

I think I may stick to trying a mini powerball.
