    Usually when I wash my car, I use a spoke brush to clean the wheels. I usually spray with a wheel cleaner first, then rinse, then using regular soap and a spoke brush, I scrub the rims.

    A while back I saw a lambswool spoke brush. I thought "Hey what a cool idea". Then I thought that brake dust is pretty tough and I would do better to stick with my current brush that can really agitate the brake dust and get it off the rim.

    Now that it's 17 degrees outside, I'm stuck washing ONR style for a while. Now I'm wondering if it's ok to use my spoke brush with ONR. My gut tells me no. Then I remembered the lambswool brush.

    Anyone ever use one of those? Did it work? I would think that you wouldn't get many uses out of it. But it only has to last the winter for me.

    My lambswool brush just bit the dust after using it for the better part of a year. In fact, I was using it with DP 4-in-1 (DP version of ONR). It was working very well until it fell apart. I don't think the product had anything to do with the brush falling apart. It was already on it's last legs I think.

    How about trying a solution of ONR in a spray bottle to pre-treat? Then maybe a bug sprayer with ONR solution to rinse?

    I don't use wheel wax due to the time it takes per wheel..so i started to use AW as wheel sealant with great durability and easy clean up,no more harsh whhel cleaners.

    After shot of the wheels with ONR withwarm water agitated using a wheel brush and a spoke brush.
