Wheel Brush Reccomendation for these wheel

[N54power]

These are my wheels. Can anyone recommend a wheel brush that will help me get in between the tight spokes?



I was thinking about getting a Daytona wheel brush. There`s also a similar brush called the E-Z Detail brush. I`m not sure if they are thin enough to get in between some of the spokes. What would you guys recommend?



Daytona

Both those brushes should work fine. I`d probably just use a wash mitt or MF towel to clean between those tight spokes.



For cleaning the barrels you can look at the wheel woollies too! These are pretty awesome and you won`t get the "spatter" that the EZ can give you.

They also make a "mini" EZ brush. ;)



This is the medium sized (2") wool brush that I used to clean these Vette wheel slots.

N54power- While the brushes might work fine for between the spokes, I`d also want to have some of the little Wheel Washing Mitts sold by Griot`s (pn 10209 for the sheepskin one, pn 11838 for the foam). Those are what I`d use to clean the back sides of the spokes and probably the barrels too.



Oh, and Welcome to Autopia!

These are my wheels.



Very nice, I must say.



I`d grab yourself some sponges and cut them to size. A sponge will be just about perfect for this. People like the grout sponges from Home Depot.



I do like the Daytona brush - - just right for getting the inside of the wheel :)



Welcome aboard, N54 !

i got tired of getting covered with black spots from using the daytona/ez brushes so i moved onto ace power sticks and wheel woolies. griots has these Two Micro Fiber Wheel Wands - Cleaning Tools - Wheels & Tires - Car Care - Griot`s Garage (http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/two+micro+fiber+wheel+wands.do?sortby=ourPicks) look the same as wheel woolies. the griots items accumulator points out will work well. i have the three finger foam ones, haven`t tried the sheepskin ones yet.

I, OTOH, do *NOT* like the Daytona/etc. brushes for wheels. I`ll use mine for some other things (cleaning coil springs, getting between exhaust systems or driveshafts and the floorpan of the vehicle, etc.) but not for the wheels. Missed too much [stuff] for one thing, always had to go back and redo the area with some other media anyhow.

Yeah, that too.

When I got that little sheepskin one I was expecting it to be a waste of money, but I was pleasantly surprised and it quickly became something that I really use a lot.

I`ve worked on a bunch of BMW`s with those exact wheels and similar. The small wheel woolie works perfectly.

Excellent suggestions. Thanks guys!

N54 welcome aboard - I love the 135 Style wheels (let me guess 335 :)?) I would go with the lamb skin woolie too - the daytona brush would be great to clean the insides of the wheels. Although in all honesty I would get a cheap grout sponge for that. Heck they are so cheap you could probably custom trim one.
