Wheel Cleaning TOOLS - What do you use?
Hey guys, I need to replace a few of my worn wheel cleaning tools and wondering what you guys use / like. I have accumulated a ton, basically because my wife's Cayenne has the RS Spyder wheels. So while my 825's are still pretty difficult to clean...I'm kind of used to it.
Right now I'm using the following: Obsessed Garage Lambskin Wheel Mit: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/produ...0885a174&_ss=r Detail Factory Wheel Cleaning Brush: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/produ...0885a174&_ss=r Race Glaze Complete Brush Kit: https://www.carpro-us.com/care-kits/...ete-brush-kit/ Tire Brush, similar to this but purchased at like AutoZone: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/colle...ory-tire-brush I also have and use sometimes: 3 Piece Wheel Woolies, similar to these: https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...cfbb91a2&_ss=r Griot's Garage / EZ Detail Brush: https://www.griotsgarage.com/large-b...e-wheel-brush/ My lambskin mitts are trash. Looking for something that's effective in getting most of the spokes. I feel like my brushes and woolies are pretty good at getting in the cracks and corners. Any other favorites? (Please don't say ceramic coat your wheels and you won't have to clean them. Mine are ceramic coated already). |

I use Griot’s stuff and it works. Biggest thing with keeping wheels clean ironically isn’t ceramic coating them… it’s actually the composition of your brake pads. You don’t have to go ceramic compound, but something like for example IS2000 pads will still get you somewhat dark dusting, but it comes off much easier than a heavy metallic compound that sticks to wheels more. Washing off the dust of these pads literally gets you a stream of graphite colored water and requires almost no scrubbing unless you’ve got more than a month’s cake on there or something… and that’s driving if you drive a lot.

I have several wheel brushes from Adams, but I’ve settled on the small angled wheel brush and a soft bristle brush. The small angled one is small enough that I can clean all the spokes on the 826M, behind them, and the barrel. I use the soft standard wheel brush for the centers, face and around the lugs. Works for me..

Great for getting between the caliper and wheel barrel.
