When washing I always roll up on a couple blocks of wood to raise the wheels off the ground, not just because I have a Macadam driveway, it's still great on asphalt or concrete driveways. Being raised helps when power washing but mostly brushing and dressing the tires. This is nothing new, I'm just happy with the results. It was about an hour of work and maybe $10.

I had a left over 2x4 so decided to cut four pieces 22.5" long. Then screw a 2.75" block on the back as a stopper which also prevents hoses from snagging under the rear tires. The OCD part of me coated twice with Rust-Oleum outdoor enamel from Home Depot (one can was more than enough). This helps keep them from saturating with water. The blocks of wood got soggy and heavy after a wash. These are light, stack up small and do the trick. The cut dimensions are just the right size for the 18" wheels, I would go 24"+ for larger wheels.

Once a year I remove the wheels and clean them inside out. I like your idea though. I will try it at some point.

Nice. I wish I had these yesterday when I was washing and dressing my tires.
