    Wheel cleaning brushes without handles?

    My hands get sore very quickly, and using something with a handle tires them out after 30-60 seconds. The shorter the handle the better, but ideally I`d like something like this




    where there`s no leverage required by fingers, only by my arm.

    However, I can`t seem to find anything like this for cars, and I hear the nylon bristles on those dish brushes will scratch wheels.

    Thanks in advance

    You could get the big wheel woolie and cut the handle down to a size you`re comfortable with. Secure the little handle between your fingers with an elastic or something. No holding at all if done right.

    Another option is the Griot`s three finger mitt. It`s a little pouch that 3 or 4 fingers slip into and it`s really handy. No hand fatigue because you`re not holding anything. Here`s a link:

    Number 1, welcome aboard!

    Wheel Woolies makes a long handled wheel brush that you could easily cut the handle off. Their products seem to be very good.

    Hi

    You could also just use the "cheapie" micro fiber towels that you can buy at sams, Costco etc for 25 pcs for 9.99

    if you`re talking about the wheel faces and not much behind that
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Since the leverage seems to be causing you the issue, why not look for something called rim sticks. They fit in a battery powered drill and rotate automatically?

    I have never used them but I recall seeing a youtube video from Adams on it.
