    this would be another good option...

    Speed Master Wheel Mitt

    The Speed Master Wheel Mitt is similar to the wash mitt you know and love but designed for wheels. With a deep, plush nap, the Speed Master Wheel Mitt traps contaminants into its fibers and way from your wheels. The Speed Master Wheel Mitt is smaller than your typical mitt so that you can move around all sorts of crevices of the wheel, allowing for maximum dexterity.

    I think the powder coat on rims is tougher than y’all are making it out to be. Sure, I don’t disagree that you should go with the gentlest product that does the job, but sometimes you just need more fire power. FWIW, I use (and love using) the super-gentle Microfiber Madness Incredibrush, which is perfect for garage queens and babied drivers that get a lot of attention and upkeep. But 19 out of 20 cars I see are usually very neglected (by our standards), many not getting more than automated car washes a few times a year. Caked on brake dust laughs in the face of Wheel Woolies and Microfiber Madness mops. And forget about cleaning a dirty tire with anything but a stiff brush.

    Nicely put Buddy! Not to mention 1 out of 20 interior jobs might not need a brush to remove steering wheel and shifter crud! (BRUSH)
    Cracks where the moldings meet, and buttons have tons of dust and almost looks like sand (BRUSH)
    Door panels with arm rest that again have tons of arm sludge caked (BRUSH)
    Panels in general with black shoe marks at bottom (BRUSH)
    Seat belt straps with Makeup on them and what ever else (Brush)
    Carpet(Brush)
    Engine(Brushes)
    I could go on but you get it. If your a garage queen and take your shoes off before getting in the car and drive with gloves than just don't comment. I want the detailer's that have to deal with this crap everyday to maybe show off a great brush they love! That's all. I'm not concerned my brush is going to scratch a rim. Serious???

    ThatcAdam’s glove mitt sucks holes at the seam of fingers in 5 washes for me. I do love the idea

    YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

    Drill brushes great for cleaning tires



    Ez detail go brush. Use on wheel wells engine bays



    Gyeon leather brush for decent interiors (scrub ninjas deeper clean)



    Generic make up brush for leveling after applying with Saver applicator. Get’s it nice an evening in siping and lettering.



    Pretty much this… a Work stuff albino white and my woolies all I need for wheels


    Wheel faces and other things (matte and satin black wheels ons no scratches ever)



    If your anti detail brush spend the money on a work stuff brush and order an Albino white model.



    Just got this but I liked using the saver applicators better than sponges for tire products. Saves on product and applied pretty even. Figured I give the Saver made for tires a try.

    Re: YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

    EZ-Detail brushes have become strong favorites of mine, the small, large and Go versions -





    Absolutely love the Go version, excellent for wheel arches.





    The DF Tire brush, one for tires and one for rubber floor mats, brilliant little brush!





    Long handle Vikan brush for wheel arches and the truck tray -





    DF Ultra Soft for dusting vents and switches -





    RG XL brush for applying tire dressing -

    Re: YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

    I have 3 smaller (marketed as exterior detailer brushes) that I use sparingly around the badges on the car. I may also use them (sparingly and lightly) in the crevices between panels (body parts). They are also good for reaching those hard to reach door jam areas. I only have 1 mildly aggressive wheel brush but it's only used for undercarriage and suspension cleanup.

    But... I do have 2 stiff brushes for tires and floormats.
