Help! Looking for link to a wheel detailing brush.

[rdtjr]

A while back I saw a link (either here or MB owner site) to a website that sells a narrow brush that you could use to get back into the recesses of the wheels between the spokes. Tried a search at both sites but no luck. I remember the site had pictures with a number of uses and I think it was $18.95.



Help! Anyone remember this? I can see all this dirt and brake dust but I can`t get at it.:(

I will look here but the site I saw before seemed to be one guy selling one brush. Thanks for answering!

I need to type faster.

That just might be it. You guys are fast. I could barely open a link with the email notifications coming in! Thanks!



I assume this is fine to use on wheels?

Bought mine at Target. Screwdriver like handle, with the brush straight out. It does the wheels great. Five or six bucks.

Here`s another option. I have one and love it. Very gentle on my aluminum alloys.

SK2003TypeS- Yeah, that`s MY primary wheel-cleaning brush. But he`s still gonna need something to get back behind the spokes.



I use things like Griot`s (BIG) foam swabs (pn 10226), Quickee Brand glassware-cleaning sponge mops, old and VERY soft toothbrushes (*IF* you`re not too worried about scratching the wheels), and toothbrush-style boar`s hair brushes (can`t remember where I got them, maybe Eastwood).

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. I think you`ve answered my question. I have the OXO brush but it doesn`t reach very far into the wheel, especially in between the double spokes. That`s why I was looking for something else.



This site is great. My wife says I have more lotions and potions for the car than she has for herself. But she doesn`t mind because she likes to help detail, especially cleaning the wheels and applying the Gummipflege. I am one lucky guy, even if I do catch a lot of overspray when she is rinsing the car! :D

Hmmm.....I thought the E500 has 5 spoke wheels. I have 5 spokes on mind and it`s tough to get back there. I plan on doing a wheel overhaul, taking them off, wash, clay, wash and Zaino. Hopefully sooner than later.

You are probably thinking of the wheels for the sport/appearance package. Those have wide, solid spokes. The standard wheels have spokes that split near where they meet the rim.



PS - I admire your gumption. In my wildest dreams, I can`t see myself doing that. Well, maybe.

On my Maxima I used to use a long brush intended for cleaning AC units. I got the brush I found to be the best at a True Value hardware store. The manufacturer is Kiefer. Looks like a gigantic test tube brush.I used a heavy athletic sock turned inside out over and sprayed the wheel and sock with brush with cleaner. It worked well though I would never recommend using it without the sock. Used to be my ritual after longer trips :D

Ahhhh, I`m still not sure what they look like. Guess you`ll have to clean them and post pics :D

Gumption ? (yes I had to look up that $20 word). I don`t think it`s too uncommon around here.....in fact, I think it`s a requirement :p
