    Question Wheel Cleaning Mitt/Lower Panel Mitt Preferences

    Just wondering what media everyone is using to safely clean their wheels and Lower Panels with. I have been using a carrand wheel cleaning microfiber wedge on my wheels for years but was thinking of stepping up to a Cobra Micro-Chenille mitt. Seems like it might be a bit safer.

    Also, I just started using the AG boars hair lug brush and it seems to be working out.

    I use a Carpro Merino Mitt for upper panels and was thinking of going with another Cobra Micro-Chenille for the lower panels.

    I used to hate cleaning wheels, I mean really hate it. I used to use towels and some cheap thing I got from Autozone.

    Cheap thing:



    Another cheap thing I used to use.



    No more!

    Now I use this stuff.



    Now I did a quick add up in my head. That's about $180 dollars worth of tools just to clean wheels and tires only (not wells / no cleaner product). Some of those things, like the RaceGlaze brushes, can be used on other places.

    Is it worth it? 100%!!! Because, I no longer hate cleaning wheels. Since detailing is a hobby, having the tools make it more enjoyable.

    That's my take on wheels. Lower panels I just use a micro chenille mitt from AG. Upper panels I use a BMW wool wash mitt.

    I use micro-chenille for lower panel and a cotton chenille mitt for wheels right now. My new Daytona's are expected today! YAAAY!

    I often use a sponge for lower rocker area. It is rinses very cleanly.
