How do you clean hard to clean rims?

Like the mesh ones or the ones with a lot of spokes?

Do you polish every crevace? Or is there an easier way?

You could use Poorboys Spray and Rinse, jet water, and a leafblower to cut some time.

Or you could do it the slow way that I did before:

it balantly says on the brush what that is...
before big shows i used to jack my car up one rim at a time, and either get under the car and clean it while i can free spin the rim, or just unbolt the rim, take it down give it a good cleaning and post it back up.

It's just a paintbrush thing, you can get it anywhere, they're like 10 cents each.
