Are you talking about polishing between the bolts or cleaning? Maybe some PS21 gel wheel cleaner for cleaning, I am pretty sure its safe for all wheels.
Give us some full shots of your bling wheels. :)
i talk about polishing.

I am not aware of anyone that makes something small enough and safe to get between the bolts. There has got to be something out there....

to fullly get them youll probably have to remove each bolt, those are some sick *** wheels but its tough to get around the bolts. if you do end up taking out each bolt just make sure they are torqued back to spec when you reinstall them

Maybe the Edge Foam Tips would work.
The Edge Foam Detailing Tips are foam-tipped sticks perfect for detailing in small spaces. (http://www.autogeek.net/edgefoamtips.html)

Not sure why I didnt think of that. Since I was using a tooth brush on my wheels today! Good idea you have there Coupe!
I tried a electric tooth brush, but the q-tip is the best solution for now!

use a normal hand tooth brush, you can apply more pressure.

A dremel with a felt bob attachment would work, just keep the speed down. They sell the attachments in many sizes.
Nice MKII GTI! :2thumbs:

i have the similar RM bbs wheels....i find nothing will perform a proper clean between those bolts...so once a year i let the air out and take everyother bolt out and polish, then refit those and take the other bolts out
