A friend recommended that I use a California wheel duster for my newly powdercoated wheels.

Can anyone comment on how good those are, or am i better off with water an a soft cloth ?

Thanks,

 

absolutely dust the wheels first- then spray them with detail spray.
dusting is a very light flicking motion- its not a rub the duster motion.

they make small ones for interiors- those work on wheels...
i have a big one that is used only for wheels at my house.

btw, engine braking helps once the wheels are clean and its a lot more fun !!
