Thanks for the reply. Since I don't have water, I wonder what can be used to clean those rims and tires? I would like to clean this car in the garage since the brakes have locked; the car sat in a dust cocoon for the last 15 years.
Take the wheels off, give 'em a good cleaning, dry 'em then apply some Brake Dust Barrier per instructions on the can. Don't have to do it all at once. If you don't have access to a water supply outdoors, take one wheel at a time and use a garden sprayer or thoroughly wash it in the shower with some good wheel and tire cleaner or APC with degreaser. While you're taking a shower, if you want to conserve water. After the Brake Dust Barrier is applied, you can dust the wheels off every couple of months with some QD and a microfiber.
And while you have the wheels off, check why the brakes are locked. They're not going to get unlocked just by sitting there another 15 years.
