Cleaning the inside part of my wheels- pressure washer?

Tired of having dirty inner wheels? How to clean them......

Parts needed:

1 $89 1300 pressure washer (Wal Mart)
1 $99 Weed Eater Leaf Blower- The BEST $99 I EVER SPENT- (besides the hooker in Tijuana)
1 $3 bottle of Wheel cleaner

Okay, I'm not sure how bad this is for my wheels, but I got a cheap pressure washer at WalMart and after spraying the wheel cleaner on the inside of my wheels, I used the pressure washer (about 15 degrees of spray to take some pressure off) and hosed down through my spokes trying to avoid the machined face. Then I used the leaf blower to get rid of excess water. They look brand new. Well, they are brand new, but they are really clean on the inside.

But, am I going to ruin my wheels eventually with my POS pressure washer? The box says its weak enough to use on car paint. It worked really well on the wheels but no way in hell would I use it on my paint.......I have enough rock chips as it is.

A guy in my gym has a company called Garage Mechanic. He sells all kinds of professional Series custome made automotive detailing items. He's wheel cleaner is the best i've ever used. It's spray on, hose off. No rubbing at all and yes, the inside of my wheels come out spotless with this stuff too. It's clear coat friendly, will not even harm plants. It's made from plant extracts, totally natural emulsifier(sp?). If any of you N.E. guys will be at the meet, I may be able to bring some of this stuff to sell. It's amazing.
