I found a fast and easy way to clean the grime around recessed lug nuts. Simply use one end of a Q-tip dipped in Windex (or some other cleaning solution) to lossen the dirt around the lug nut and use the other end to dry it. Works great. This same idea is also good to clean the small recessed parts of the Brembo brake calipers.
Qtips are readily available in the garage at all times! Part of the 'toolkit' Works great cleaning around/edges of any lettering as well as door handle/gastank/anywhere crevices are ... (especially wax removal/polishing)
