Use a boar`s hair brush, two buckets and regular car wash soap on my oz ultraleggeras. I also spend about 20-30 minutes on my wheels when i wash my car (Accumulator knows what i`m talking about).



Anyways, post up some pics of those wheels!!

Beautiful wheels. I have the HRE 540`s and they are a PITA to keep clean and polished. If these wheels were on a daily driver or a car that I drove alot I would go insane. They do look incredible when cleaned and polished though :bigups

If you mean the first one (described as an interior brush), pn A021, yeah, I use a similar BHB every time I do wheels. The regular Wheel BHB pn A019 is similar to another one that I use, but I always need the smaller, cylindrical BHB to do tight spots like the recesses for the lugs.



I had anodized HREs on the Mallett...yeah, the design was a PIA to keep clean, especially the back/inside areas.

They are on a daily driver but dont get driven too much everyday, just back and forth from work and home. I am going to go insane shortly, arent there any other brushes that will get inside the wheel? that have a long brush

just keep teh insides waxed with a good releasing wax like 845 and you`ll almost be able to spray water in the insides and clean it perfect.

I have GFG Trento 5`s, 3 piece wheels and I just use a mild car wash soap with a microfiber sponge. I don`t use any brushes, just a soft microfiber sponge or towel and they work great. Then use a good wax or sealant to coat and protect the wheels.
