Tools to Clean the Wheel

[spielwurfel]

Hello guys

For some time I've been trying to find the right tools to clean my wheels. I use a detail brush for the spokes and an EZ Brush for the barrel. But I don't feel the detailing brush do a good work, as I have to spend a lot of time for the inner and fillets of the spokes, and the work isn't perfect. Would you guys recommend a better tools for these wheels I have?

Thanks!

With gloves on your fingers are good tools. To reach farther back on the rim we use a tire swabs. You can get them from a auto supply store. Make sure to get some 1/4" vinyl or rubber tubing to cover the stem to protect the rim they are steel.

Speed Master Jr. Wheel Brush

Wheel Woolies set.

The big one is awesome on the barrels if it fits by the dust shield. The little one for the inside the spokes, but yours may be a little tight to fit closer to the center.

Sometimes tooth brushes will work for the right areas, or look at baby bottle brushes. I have shaved down toothbrushes on the spot to fit.

in addition to the daytona speed master wheel brush and wheel woolies...

Detailing Brush

Spend a day removing wheels, clean the heck out of the rims and tires...Gyeon Q2 Rim for the wheels, Tuf Shine for the tires. Going forward all you'll need to clean 'em is a hose and a sponge...which likely won't even get dirty. No more wheel cleaning chems, no more slingin' tire dressing.

Another vote for the wheel woolies set and adding the detail brush. Many people love the speed master brush but the splash back is a deal killer for me.

Wheel Woolies are one of my favorite wheel cleaning tools, but I always use the Lake Country Wool Wheel Washing Mitt for the face of the wheel. The only downside to this mitt is that it leeches dye like crazy. If you get one, soak it in a pail in hot water and change out the water a half a dozen times; that will get most of the excess dye out. Once you get past that, it's a great tool.

The Woolies are worth the investment. I can't think of a better brush for the barrel area than the set's large unit. Super easy to clean up and put away, too. The smaller ones are great for exhaust cleaning as well.

The detailing brush above is also nice. The bristle is soft, yet firm enough for light tire scrubbing duty. Of course if you really want to tackle nasty rubbers, get yourself a Tuf Shine Tire Brush. I will say I prefer natural boar's hair for scrubbing emblems as they feel more suitable for my delicate Subaru paint.
