If you have aluminum wheels it is best to clean your rims weekly or when they get dirty. Especially if they are polished aluminum rims. What happens to aluminum rims is when they get hot the pores open up and the dirt is let into the pores of the aluminum. When it gets into the pores it is very hard to clean the rims. I have seen some cases where the owner didnt take care of their wheels and the wheel was so dirty that we had to either polish them or use hard abraisive cleaning products on them just to get them clean. I take a bucket of car wash soap and a sponge at least once a week to clean my wheels. I also love to wash my X weekly and i usually spend like 4 hours cleaning it inside and out. Anyway, take care of your X and it will last you forever. WooWoo
