How to do you handle washing the calipers and inside of the wheels? It appears you don't unless you take the wheel off!

Now that I've got some hawk ceramics, they dust 3x more than the stockers and having dirty, dusty calipers will drive my ocd issues through the roof...

I can fit my hand in the triangle shaped holes in the wheel.

Or you could get a coat hanger and wrap a rag around it :)

I usually didn't clean the inner barrel every time I washed the car, maybe once every other month I would pull the wheels and really clean them, but mine weren't in perfect condition, so it didn't matter to me that much.

^ what he said.

Keeping them clean will be much easier if you seal the calipers/wheels with a (spray) sealant - optimum/DP/4star/duragloss, etc. - and use car soap to wash and some soft brushes to wash.

Cleaning mine is the only thing i hate about them,Definitely get a small brush like the one posted above or similar and that will help a Ton..

Here is a link to the brushes i posted. They are great they will fit into very tight spaces. They are foam and work great
