Daytona Jr?

I like the Daytona Jr and the small wheel woolie. I find uses for each based on the situation and preference.

Thanks, Troy. I think I'll go with the Daytona Jr. Woolies look pretty cool, but it's seems the Daytona brushes would be much easier to maneuver due to the flexible stem.

CG's Ferret because it's very bendable.

I've been curious about this as well. The openings of my wheels are a little small and difficult to even get my hand through. I think I'll end up picking up the Daytona Jr because it's smaller girth. I'm iffy about the fullsize Daytona scratching or marring my wheels.

Daytona jr. will do the work.

Careful with the ferret. I replaced mine for a regular Daytona. The ferret is all metal and doesn't protect very good if your not careful around wheel spokes.

i got the jr. for my nissan wheels. so far i like it. a lot. the caliper is tight, but IMO nothing better for cleaning the barrels.

the raceglaze wheel brush is the smallest device that i have found that is effective. I couldnt fit the the daytona jr behind the small gap from the caliper to the wheel in some locations without forcing it. the raceglaze wheel brush has been the next best thing. I got mine at pakshak.

Are you talking about the Raceglaze XL wheel brush?

The Jr. worked with most cars, but not all.

if I have time I just pull the wheels. That way you can get to every nook and cranny. It is a pain in the ass sometimes (and a pain in the back too) but it sure seems worth it in the end.

That's it and you can wrap a mf towel around the brush to get deep in the barrels or fender wells.
