http://www.wheelcollision.com/wccpix/4008silverto.JPG here is a pic similiar to the wheels on my buick park ave. the port holes in the rims appear to be the same as mine. I need a wheel brush stiff enough to remove the break dust but soft enough to easily penetrate the port holes on the rims. how about the one in the link,can you tell me if this would work. i use what is called a pipe brush and this works good,but the bristles could have a little more stiffness.

I bet the 11 inch brush (B-626) with a good wheel cleaner would do fine. I perfer the OXO Spoke wheel brush(OXO-1050582) Hope that helps.

I have the oxo wheel brush and that thing is huge. to big to put in the port holes on the wheel. maybe Matt can tell me the Diameter of the brush. I'm waiting to hear before a place an order..

Have you tried the Poorboys Spray and Rinse. No need to bend over, just wet while cool and liberally spray them. With those wheels, I would try anything other than to get into each one of those crevices.

Haven't tried PBs S & R but i did promise to purchase the item, i just haven't done so. The wheels were neglected and i spent many hrs over many days to clean them. Where their was heavy dusting also left some etching behind and this is the 1st place the dust begins to get difficult even with weekly cleanings and wheel wax. I use the hottest water i can get from the tap and then a wire brush. I know theirs a lotta holes in those wheels but after all the work i put into cleaning them i am determined to keep them clean. Mistery Guy lol.. Thanks for the Advice .

Since i don't have the diameter of the brush, those are two of my orders i'm gonna cancel and find elsewhere.
