I went to a local car show last monday night, and before I went I wanted the brake dust cleaned off the wheels. After washing and drying the wheels, I was surprised to see how much dust was left behind the spokes. So my next step was to remove the wheels from the car. I found that by removing the wheels I was able to very easily clean the dust from all the nooks and crannys with just a strong solution of soap and water. I know this is a little extreme for getting the dust off but I feel it was worth it. I will do it this way in the future as well. Probably every third or fourth washing.

By the way, I used a 17mm socket on my impact wrench to take the lug studs off, and torqued them to 81 foot pounds as recomended by Chryslers service dept. The wrench provided in the trunk would take way to long.
