Default Best Wheel Cleaning Brush

I was at the local Bed Bath and Beyond and found the perfect brush for cleaning the wheels on my Crossfire.
This thing is similar to other wheel cleaning brushes, just a little stiffer bristle and it's 28 inches long.
I bent mine in half and it's just perfect for getting inside those deep rear wheels. Following is a link:

Hey that looks like what I use! Got mine at wally world though and it has a wooden handle. If I remember right it was like $3 bucks. Look for it in with their brooms and such.

I stole my son's wheel brush which he got at Target, he doesn't use it. Its about 12" long and I think the key here is that like Fritzauf's its bendable, good for getting in behind the spokes and the back of the wheels. My hands are small enough where I can get back into the rear wheels. Doing that and cleaning the wheel wells when you wash really makes a difference. I just painted my brake calipers and when I had the wheels off I gave the back sides a thorough cleaning.

I bought one after seeing it on this post. EXCELLENT! I used a short, wide brush for the easy-to-reach areas, and this bent pipe cleaner for the inner crannies. Cleanest my wheels have ever been, took about five extra minutes at the beginning of my car wash. Thanks!

I sent my wife. If I ever set foot in Bed, Bath, and Beyond, you can bet I'll be shopping in the "Beyond" department.

??? that's pretty silly bud, it's not a life altering experience, just a place to buy a brush.

I got a Meguire's wheel brush at Big Lots for about $2. It works great!
