Still looking for the right wheel brush
So I recently took the plunge and replaced my old wheel brushes with the Wheel Woolies. I used them this weekend and love them! Unfortunately, the smallest one is still not small enough to get between my wheel and caliper on the front wheels. Wouldn't get in there at all. I have about 1/4 inch clearance and haven't found a wheel brush that goes in there yet (my old small brush would if I forced it, but that always made me nervous because it had a metal center for the bristles and it ruined the brush over time).
Any super thin wheel brushes out there? Tired of having to keep moving the car to get the entire inside of the wheel....
Thanks,
Neil

I just ordered the Carrand Sheepskin wheel brush. Haven't gotten it yet but I had the same problem, not enough room. Didn't really need anything aggressive so I got the sheepskin.

Raceglaze XL wheel brush. Best wheel spoke brush ever. There hasnt been any calipers I havent been able to clear yet and virtually zero splatter. I cant say the same about the daytona on both counts.

go to a place that sells guns/gun accessories, they sell small wool mops for oiling your gun and can put them on a coated cleaning rod and you should be good!,if you cant find a coated rod use a brass rod and dip it in some plasti-dip!.....you should be able to find a mop going way smaller then you need it also ... good luck to ya!

That is a good idea Opie....I can't get past my front calipers. I really need to take them off and clean the barrels, but I am too lazy

I used to use these before I got my wheel woolies. I really like them they clean very well and are delicate and won't scratch rims even polished aluminum. The only down side is that they do not last very long. I'll get a couple of months tops before they start falling apart and start sheding.

Re: Still looking for the right wheel brush
Yea I'm lazy also. But it's something that needs doing. I just take them off and do them. Leads to a days project cause then I'm doing wells, chassis, exhaust and suspension components. Yea for me a day for wash/dry/interior another for wheels etc. Where do I find time for polish and protect. Dang I love this game.

Re: Still looking for the right wheel brush
I recently bought a viking cone wheel brush. It has a removable and washable terry cloth bonnett. It works ok but I plan on getting me a Daytona Wheel brush. The problem with the viking one I bought at O'reillys, is the terry cloth gets picked very easily and Viking doesn't offer replacements.
