Washed the MB wheels for the first time today using a pressure washer, Brake Buster and a boars hair brush. I couldn't even get to the barrel of the rim to clean it. Not even using a long wheel whoolie.
My hands wouldn't fit beyond the spokes.
It would take a long time to clean these wheels the way I do the BMW wheels. Even then, I don't think I could get them that clean. You would have to take the wheels off the car to clean them properly. I'm certainly not doing that.
They are ceramic coated. I'll have to have them ceramic coated every year.
I didn't order the car with those wheels. I knew better. The car was already configured by the dealer.
What a disappointment.
Despite being glossy, the M340i wheels are a piece of cake to clean compared to these.
