Have a current neighbor with a 2000 E320. I remarked on his clean car recently but commented the wheels didn't look very clean. Found out he had just had it in for its ANNUAL wash & the wheels would not get any cleaner. Car is garaged but he's driven it 105k. Yuk!!!
A lot of people just don't wash their wheels at all.
I see those cars everyday with a whole bunch of rust. Wash outside and inside of the car every week. The van gets a wash once a month since I don't drive it..... that much. The funny thing is that everyone notices that my benz is for long repairs cause the van is always clean.
