Wells with ample spacing between well and tire, almost any handled brush will do. I use a short handled green bristle brush but almost any will do. I prefer short handles but some like longer. For tighter spaced wheels I use the Power Puff Multi-Purpose Handheld Sponge from Walmart. They are in the section with household cleaning supplies and are about $3. I use the brush for most wells and the inside of wheels. Looks like a handle with a sponge on the end similar to the yellow bug blocks. Power Puff Multi-Purpose Handheld Sponge

Nothing fancy Truls, but I use a plain old toilet bowl brush. Cheap short handled and can get where I need to with it. :D

I tried a brush similar to that before and I really did not care for it. It's to big to even use of a most of my cars. There's not enough room between the tire and the wheel well to use it. I like the black ShMitt or sponge and a smaller brush for wheel wells. If my wheel wells are real dirty I use a pressure cleaner on them first. I wash my wheel wells every time I wash one of my vehicles.

That one looks realy nice Sparkie, but that aint in the AG collection?

Have the same problem as Gary, hard enough to get my hands under there. Maybe by lifting the car a bit its easyer to reach. The Mothers brush was for bigger wheel wells, Toilet brush didnt sound like a bad idea (i do buy a new one:)

I have a truck, so getting the wheel wells looking good is a must. I just spray with diluted Simple Green, then take a crappy sponge to it. Always works a charm, no heavy brushes needed.
