How to clean Work wheels?

ques is how do u guys with work wheels clean the water out of the inside barrel behind the spokes?
after a wash seems like alot of water sits in the inside barrel behind the spokes since its like a step lip inside and the water dosent drain,

i used my drying cloth but it gets reall dirty when it absorbs up all the water.

any tricks?

I use a leaf blower to blow all the water out. Then I wipe up the excess water.

The neighbors look at me weird when I whip out my leaf blower.

Lol, they're not that bad to clean. I clean them everytime I wash my car (once per week), so they never get that dirty. All I do is wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and detailing spray and they look good as new. Applying wheel sealant is a PITA though .

don't apply any product to work lips except soap, unless it's anodized approved

they're anodized and sealant can strip/dull the effect fyi

I've used Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant on my VS-XX since the day I bought them, it's safe for all wheel finishes.
