Well, almost. I sprayed the wheels down pretty good with water as they had quite a bit of brake dust on them For my first time using such a process, I think it turned out pretty good. Process was fairly easy, took the advice of several videos I watched and purchased a bunch of high quality microfiber clothes.

Products used:

Zep Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser (Wheels/Tires/Exhaust Tips)
Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax
Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax
Invisible Glass Automotive Glass Cleaner
Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaning and Conditioning Spray
Armor All Protectant Spray
Turtle Wax Platinum Series Detailing Towels

Looks like it came out great. I know Groit’s also makes a waterless car wash. Nice for the condo owners who don’t have access to water to clean their car.

I see a hose right there!

Quick question, how do you remove the Zep Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser? Or is just wiping on, wiping off good enough?

(I used to work at a restaurant and we would need to rinse off the Citrus Degreaser. But It might just be because of health reasons?)

The hose was used on the wheels. I used a a heavy spray and a stiff brush to get the zep off. Also used it on the exhaust tips to cleanup the carbon buildup. Worked great!

I use zep for all kinds of stuff around the house, stuff cleans really well.

EDIT: to better clarify, I wet the wheels first, then applied zep and let it sit for probably 5 to 10 minutes. I then came through with a heavy wheel brush and scrubbed every nook and cranny. Then sprayed the wheels down to rinse off the zep until there was no more white foam coming off the wheels. I then used a towel to wipe them dry.
