Lightbulb Homemade Inner wheel/rim cleaning tool

So a few weekends ago I removed all the rims and scrubbed them pretty...that was about 1,000 miles ago and more than a few spirited drives up and down the Ortega Highway. I accumulated a lot of brake dust - I am using Porterfield RS4 pads and they like to leave dust about.

And yes, I know my rotor hats need to be painted I just need to decide on grey or black.

I used a swiffer duster handle and ghetto taped a 303 aerospace damp microfiber towel to it:



Sorry for the crappy blackberry curve phone pics, but it works great...I figured I'd pass the info along...

I know...I balanced the assemblies at work and left the previous on there, I will get to it when the "ski" is down for a few weeks for underside cleaning.
