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?

*this is not my pic, but I have the same wheels
 
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!

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 :)

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.



the griots items accumulator points out will work well. i have the three finger foam ones, haven't tried the sheepskin ones yet...

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.
 
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.
