wheel cleaning brushes.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a wheel cleaning brushes, especially between the front brake caliper and rim. There's not much clearance for my normal bushed.

Work stuff makes some of the best detailing brushes. The chart is used to decipher which bristles work best for your job. Also, incredibrush, and E-Detail, for between the spokes and calipers/ barrels.

I've had luck with this brush for those tight spots.

Yeah, he's great. watched that today. Just not sure if the options provided will get into the tight spaces for our wheels. At least as the softer options go.

I haven’t found one that will squeeze between the front caliper and the barrel. I’ve tried an incredibrush flat, that wire brush with the bristles, etc. if I really want to clean there I roll the car about a foot or two and just clean that spot.

Bristle brush is on order will give it a try and if need a haircut to get in there.

Also got some HydrO2 lite will report back.

I'm normally not a fan of bristle type brushes for anywhere on the car other than stiff ones to clean tires down to bare rubber. Especially with paint black wheels, I also feel they risk damaging the finish. Although I usually don't love their products, Chemical Guys has a foam brush set that I've used with success. It doesn't have anything thin enough to get under that front brake caliper, so I usualy just back the car up five feet to get there.

I am relatively new to hand washing at home, not fond of car washes unless, touch free. 1 local car wash company has brushes but apparently uses ceramic add, my 2019 Tahoe looks brand new. But for my new BMW - I've used products from Esoteric. Good stuff for detailers and DIY's - for brake dust Gyeon Q2M Iron seems to do really good, with very soft bristle brush and sponge for for the 826M bi-color wheels and red calipers. Only foam and soap with very soft sponge for body and 2 bucket process, then blow dry with BigBoi dryer.

I been using Speed Master Wheel Brush and it's been great so far with Sonax

I use Wheel Woolies for most rim surfaces/areas. No, they don't get in between the barrels and brake calipers, but I can live with that. The rims are coated, and P&S Brake Buster gets the worst of it with little/no agitation. I use a largest bristle brush for the face and a firm bristle brush for the tire sidewalls.
