I'm figuring the only way to get these wheels clean is to use a multiple tool approach.

Wheel woolies (straight and right angled)
A hand wash mitt
Long handle soft bristle brush for the face
Maybe an EZ Detail wire brush too

Thoughts?

Will a 1900psi washer help to clean the wheels without agitation? I've stayed away from pressure washers in the past due to the pain in the butt to setup/breakdown.
I use the long fuzzy 16" bendable pole that I move in and out of each spoke and it works really well. Before getting this tool it would take a few minutes a wheel and I didn't do as good of a job with all the spokes. This thing comes luckily with a rubber cap so you don't ever scratch your wheels. And I use the water/meguires car soap when I'm done with rest of car
