No, for the whole job. lol Although it may take a little longer depending on how badly your spokes have become.
BTW, if your car windshield gets those hard to clean bug remains on it in the summer where it gets baked on. You can use the 0000 steel wool gently to get them off. GENTLY. (not a bike windshield)
I know that sounds scary but the trick is to use the 0000 steel wool.
I use it on my exhaust to get rid of the little flecks of asphalt that stick
to it in the summer. NO, I don't have any scratches on the chrome.
I use a bottle washer with a white sock over it . Spray the spokes with ice spray wax after washing them with any old sock on the bottle washer. Then spray the white sock with wax and have at it, you can get reel aggressive with the wand and you will see the grime on the white sock. If they are really cruddy, use Meguirs Liquid Cleaner wax. It is a very mild cleaner and won't harm the finish. The wax does a lot to keep them clean longer. I can do my rims in 15 minutes this way, they sparkle.
