How to clean wheel barrel?

[pcw25]

Is there any other way to clean the barrel of the wheel without the daytona brush? I just got back the the Honda Pilot (went in the shop December 9th) and the barrels are now clean because of the body shop. Suggestions?

if you have a old mf laying around it can work well as long as you can fit your hand between the rotor and barrel.

With the front wheels I used to turn the wheel and wipe the barrel from behind and from the front as far as i could reach with my mitt I would clean the wheel well while I was right there. On the back I would just reach as far as I could with my wheel mitt from the front.

Cleaning the barrels the first time is always a pain.

But after the first initial cleaning, which the bodyshop has already done, it is a breeze to maintain. Everytime you wash dont neglect the barrels.

I use this Libman vent brush:



I fold it in half and it's flexible enough to maneuver it to clean my wheels. It's not a great alternative, but I think it was like $8. My wheels are coated inside & out so they aren't too tough to clean.

take them off and clean them by hand .... Daytona brush is cheaper (even with shipping) and faster too.
