Cleaning wheels for us old guys

I hate cleaning wheels….my 66 yr old back hates cleaning them too

anyone got a product that does this easily, waterless (like, spray something instead of dragging a water hose out), and is cordless ?

Nothing waterless, but I bought some wheel brushes from Car Guys some years ago to make the job much easier. High quality brush in 3 sizes make cleaning wheels a breeze. There are a number of sprays that remove the brake dust which is the hardest to remove completely.
I think the cleaner I am using right now is made by ArmorAll. Brake dust just runs off the wheel without scrubbing. But you have to wash off the cleaner to prevent spots and streaks.

My back also hates cleaning wheels. I have tried many wheel cleaners through the years with mixed results. Although it doesn’t meet your request for a waterless product, I recently started using a product called “GYEON Wheel Cleaner Iron”. It is by far the best wheel cleaner I have ever used. It’s applied to a dry wheel and needs to be rinsed off. It does a great job of removing dirt just by rinsing, but it works best when you use a wheel brush. I also sprayed it on the rock sliders on my Jeep and it made them look brand new.

My back hates bending over for any reason (2 back surgeries with minimal success). The first thing you want to get is one of these, or something similar.

Beyond that, I just use car wash soap and a dedicated brush for my wheels. I clean the wheels last and usually start with a fresh bucket of soap for them.

All that being said, I rarely clean them because I live on a dirt (or mud, depending on the weather) road and the front wheels are dirty again by the time the back wheels get out of the driveway.

Great suggestions

good spray product

cordless drill brushes, especially if I can find one with a long extension

and a comfortable chair if I cannot find a “stand up” level extension

I recently bought the Griot's Garage Wheel Wash Mitt. It is my new favorite tool for cleaning wheels. It makes wheel cleaning fast, easy and effective.

I use Spray Nine removes everything. Also use it on the tires with a stiff brush to get the white letter tires clean again.

Don't have anything to add to the cleaners mentioned, but one thing that helped my back, was a roll around stool From Harbor Freight. Has a decent seat & back to it.
I'm in Middle Tenn, it's rained here nearly every day, so keeping clean is impossible.
