    What do you use rims??

    I have tried several brushes to clean my rims and I can seem to find one that will do it all. I have the big Meguairs one but IMO it only does a good job on spoked rims. I need to clean inbetween the spokes and the face of the rims also. That brush offers little padding. I need something that is either very plush that will do inbetween spokes or a brush that has long enought bristles that will get in the spokes and clean the face. I also have tried the rubber maid one from target but its not very plus. I need some proven examples. THANKS!!!

    Did you try Meg`s spoke brush? That is the only brush that will fit between the mesh-like pattern on my parent`s Grand Marquis.

    I use that one in conjunction with the versa-angle face brush. If the combination of the two don`t get the job done, then I use an old wash mitt.

    The EZ Detail Brush from CMA or Top of the Line is awesome.

    I second the detail brush, it`s nice and soft while still having enough scrubbing power to get some crazy dust off.

    It`s like the megs spoke brush but it`s a couple of inches longer, flexible, and has three to four time as many bristles. Believe me, it blows the spoke brush away.

    Try the Meguairs versa angle face brush. If the spaces between the spokes aren`t too small, it will work. For the Volvo I have to use both that and the spoke brush, but for the Toyota I just use the face brush.
