Backside of Wheels
During a recent tire rotation, I took the time to clean the grime and brake dust from the back of my wheels. It made a big difference in the overall appearance (like keeping the doorjambs clean). What does everyone do to keep them clean? I'm not about to remove them every time I wash the truck, and I don't want to use any harsh cleaners. As it is now, I keep the wheels waxed and only use soap and water. I was thinking of getting a johnny mop to get back there. Any tips? I'm thinking maybe the guy that polishes the inside of his exhaust tips might have something useful!

, even the inside of the exhaust tips. I just dont tell anyone about that. 
Dont want to appear to ****.
I remove my rims 2 to 3 times a year to clean and wax the backsides, usually just during a normal rotation though.
