Default Wheel brush

I always used the meguires ultra soft wheel brush to clean my wheels. I can't find them in the US any longer. Can anyone recommend a good, safe (won't scratch the wheel) brush to use while washing the car. Thanks

I think they're also a sponsor on TOF if not this one as well.

Default I bought this a few months ago:

There's also this Wheel Woolies long-handled brush. It's very soft but not too soft. I guess that makes it just right

These are all great ideas. My fingers are getting tired of using a towel to try to remove all the brake dust from my wheels.

I don't know of any way around it, but you're going to need a brush and a sponge coupled with manual labor if you wish your wheels to be perfectly clean.


I buy the grout sponges at Home Depot, they're cheap. I've got many and trimmed them into various shapes and sizes for the different wheels on our vehicles. This is a trial 'n' error process and sometimes you hit it just right
