Abstract: A wheel cleaning assembly which has a rotatable carousel which supports a number of wheel raising and lowering arms. The carousel turns in time sectors and has a delay period after the carousel has turned one sector. For instance, at one station a wheel is lowered into a tank and retained in a lowered position for a time period after which it is raised and the carousel turns one sector. Each position of delay is a wheel cleaning station and wheel-cleaning stations, including a hot water soak, a spinning and spraying station, a cold water spray and a spinning and air drying station are included.
