My mother owns a 9-3 SS Linear and hand washes it, washes the wheels by hand as well. Here is her procedure 1) Spray "Westly's Bleach White" bottle of wheel/tire cleaner to all 4 wheels and tires thoroughly Wait a few minutes for chemicals to sit... 2)Use hose from Do-It-Yourself car wash bays and rinse entire car from the TOP down to the bottom with Windshield Wipers (UP) 3) Continue to spray close-up with hose on wheels and tires while washing tires with a hard bristle brush and washing wheels with a nice soft cloth. 4) Use "California" wiper to wipe water completely off of car so there are no streaks, especially on glass and mirrors. 5) Hand polish wheels with wheel polish afterwards 6) Hand wipe polish off of wheels for shine 7) Use Spray wheel wet onto applicator pad and wipe all 4 tires to a nice semi-gloss look. ------- At this point you can either choose to WAX or NOT wax car. Do NOT wax car if 1.5 years or newer, 2 years or old it is okay as paint is not as new. Preference for wax is ZYMOIL brand. That's it. This process usually takes a good hour or so to do it right.
