Do you dismount your wheel/tire to detail?

[Mopiko]

I find it hard to do a good job detailing wheel/tire without dismounting them. Just curious to know if any of you take the trouble to dismount them to wash/clean/dress?

Sure, I rotate my tires/rims every 5K miles so I thoroughly clean and wax them each rotation. Perfectly normal

Same here....only my husband helps me....he dismounts/remounts them and I do all the cleaning, polishing and sealing.

I take 'em off a few times a year, but for regular washes I just find a way to reach back in there and clean the backs/insides with them still on the vehicle. Hint: skinny, long handled wash implements. Sometimes I'll have to move the vehicle forward/back a few times to get them clean everywhere.



Now if you have BBS/monocoque style wheels, that's different. Nothing you can do except take them off unless you can reach them from the back.

I dress the back sides of my tires in the back by laying onder the car and reaching with a foam brush then reaching over the top of the tire in the front with the brush to get at the top of the back. To dso the front tires I just turn the wheel all the way both directions one at a time
