Default Whats your favorite wheel cleaning brush?

I'm looking for the solution to cleaning my hollow spoke turbo twists (as well as the AMG wheels on my wifes E550). Anyone using one they really like? I'm using Sonax for the cleaning agent.

Thanks, I'll give it a look. The main issue with the brushes I've tried is that they do not reach the inside edge of the wheels. Also they've been a little too fat to clean next to the caliper with ease. The wheels were opticoated also.

I use the Speed Master wheel brush on my HRE P40's on my '15 C4 GTS. The rears are 12 wide and I can reach to the back of the wheel. It also squeezes between the caliper and the rim.

I like the 3 piece Wheel Woolies set. Holds lots of sudsy water, and will not scratch like some of the bristled brushes. Good for getting into tight spots in the engine bay too.

Here at the shop we use a combo of brushes from "EZ Detail" as well as 'Race Glaze". The race glaze brushes are sold as a set of different sizes so you can dedicated one or two for the wheels, maybe one for the body (front grill, emblems, tight spots) and one for interior while vacuuming

I used to use Speed Master but now I changed to Wheel Woolies and never looked back.

Differs from wheel to wheel. EZ detail brushes and wheel woolies are no brainers for barrels.

I also have the Wheel Woolies. Works great in cleaning the rims, but I must say that this stuff is a bit pricey.
