If you are having a hard time getting your white letters white again, go ahead and use Westley's - just try to keep it off the wheels and the rest of the truck and rinse thoroughly.
On my cheap factory wheels, I use the all wheel cleaner, but don't just hose it off. I do the wheels last, take the good mitt out of the bucket, and use a grunge mitt with the rest of the car wash soap to scrub the wheels after the cleaner sits for a minute.

If you're going to be waxing the wheels, I'd have to say don't use the SG. It will strip the wax even diluted. I'd use your soap and water from washing the wheels and a nylon brush. Just stay ontop of it and it should clean up fine.
Also if you want to get something a little better than the NXT to wax your wheels. Check out Poorboy's Wheel Sealant. I used to be sold on using NXT for your wheels, but after trying out the PB WS, I'm never using anything else on them. I too have a lot of bottles of NXT, oh well.

I order directly from their website.

I've only tried a few products of PBs but I have loved them all. This includes Black Hole, EX Sealant, their clay and wheel sealant. I'd recommend them all.

Is this a good wash mitt. I'm looking to but a new wash mitt (maybe a few) from ADS. I'm already at about $300 with products and I want to make sure that I get everything all at once. If you dont recommend this one, than what do you recommend?

That said, I highly recommend the SW Arnold Wool wash mitt...

I just placed my order at ADS. I bought the Meguiars X-3002 wash mitt. I also figured I would try the Telescope Handle Extended Wash Mitt @ ADS just for the top of my truck. This way im not leaning against it to try and reach every piece of the roof. I think I made a cool choice.

One other quesiton. can I purchase spray bottles with the ratio measurment on them from home Depot. The reason Im asking is b/c I bought 1 from ADS for HD but now I will need one for my Poor boy's whitewall cleaner and degreaser. From my understanding the PB WWC& D is an APC. Now Im thinking about just buying the Meguiars APC plus. Which one do you guys prefer?

As for an APC, have you tried Simple Green? Properly diluted it works well, and is available locally.
