When detailing the tires, I do the same so I can get the tire juice on the part of the tire that was against the ground. Then when I'm in the mood and have enough beer around, I remove the wheels so they get a proper wash and wax on the inside and so do the calipers and wheel wells. A proper detail takes me at least four hours.

Thanks for the tips! I don’t believe my vehicle came with any tools for removing the wheels since I didn’t get the spare tire. I guess I should invest in a proper jack and lug wrench. Those look like big Allen bolts holding the wheels on. I don’t have the manual handy but I’m it says what size.
