Good topic, I was wondering if anyone in here had a tip for cleaning the inside of the wheel through the spokes without removing the wheel? Kind of hard to reach. Thanks

I use the same Meguiars soap I use for my paint...
A seperate bucket with warm water and a seperate wash mit just for the wheels..
Safer than any "spray wheel cleaners" in my opinion.
Getting inside the wheel spokes is almost impossible from the front face of the IS-F wheels.
Safely jacking it up and reaching in might be the only other way.. with out actually removing them.

I recommend all Meguiars car care products, thats all I use on my cars. For my wheels, I have a separate brush and hand mit and just use a low pressure hose to rinse them off. I use the Meguiars hot wheel cleaner. Works really wheel. Once you spray it on, you can see the brake dust falling off. Good product
I use a hand brush for the outside of the wheel and for the inside I found a one sided, really soft microfiber brush when I was at autozone one day. I've only seen a few since. It works extremely well and would pick up more if they had more then one whenever I went in there. I can't seem to find a picture of it online either. I'll keep looking to see if I can find it. It's one sided, super soft (I'm pretty **** about my cars so I wouldn't use anything to scratch the wheels).

Haha, I will also vouch for Meguiars Products. I like to use a mixture of NXT and Gold Class products.
If we get a larger contingent, i'll be happy to setup a Meguiar's Detail Clinic for LexusF.com membersthat live in SoCal or that can make the drive out to Meguiar's headquarters in Irvine, CA.
