Many of you waterless wash, and I'm one of those who do it ALOT. Cleaning the wheels can be a pain, especially if you have ZL1 brakes like I do.

I don't always want to breakout the hose, so this is what I use:

Pressure sprayer filled with water and detailers foam soap
32 oz spray bottle full of clean water (usually have to fill it a couple of times).
Bucket of clean water and dirt guard
leaf blower (electric)
Cleaning mitt
Adams wheel (wooly) stick

I just spray clean water over the wheel to get most of the dust off. Then I use the foam soap and pressure spray it. Leave it sit, then spray it again to get as much off as I can.

Once that is done, I then wash off the wheel, then spray it down with clean water.

Break out the leaf blower and dry it off. After that, clean soft towel to get any remaining water off.

Here is my setup:

Before:

After:

I keep the pressure sprayer with about 2 gallons of foam cleaner since I wash these often.

Adams Waterless Wash get's expensive and their new formula is not in concentrate yet, so I'm going to use the Ultima WW plus. Got a gallon for $66 and it make 44 gallons! Not bad since I use about a half a quart each time I WW my car...

BTW, I also use the sprayer for bugs on the front, works wonders too. Wet with water, pressure spray, soak, clean off, rinse with water, then hit with waterless wash or detail spray...
