Any brushe's to clean rims ?

[D-Rock]

Are there any brushes out there that wont scratch my aftermarket rim ? Thats safe and will work better and faster then using a mit ?


:thanks:

I think using a mitt is actually very quick and easy for wheels that aren't excessively dirty. I have a wheel brush but never use it because it's a pain the butt.

The easiest way is to apply sealant after you thoroughly clean your wheels. After this, you won't need any brushes to clean them. Just some car shampoo with a dedicated wheel wash mitt will do.

I use a sheepskin mit and a few boars hair brushes for the face of wheels but have a few different long, cylinder shaped brushes for the inside and backs of wheels.
I usually have 5 or 6 washing tools in my wheel/tire wash bucket.

I use a sponge that has a mesh on one side which is a bit rough and then a shag on the other side. This is dedicated for undercarriage and wheels.

If you want a nice soft brush, you can get paint brushes in wal mart or something that are made of horse hair or any other type of natural hair. Just put duct tape around the metal parts.

Wheel Detailing Brush:
This non-scratch, very flexible, E-Z Detail Brush is 18 inches long, 4-1/2 inches in diameter and is super-soft with Nylex bristles, a material that combines the softness of a natural bristle with the strength of nylon. There's a vinyl tip bonded to the top of the brush and a knuckle guard on the handle but the most impressive feature of this brush is the flexible, inner core. This vinyl-coated wire core will bend in every imaginable direction which allows the brush to get into areas where few other brushes can reach. E-Z Detail Brush

a) Lambs wool wheel cleaning brushes - called Wheel Woolies, these brushes drastically cut the amount of time it takes to clean almost any kind of wheel. Each brush is 12 inches long with a chemical resistant handle and a bonded wool head Proper Auto Care - Classic Motoring Accessories - Car Buffers, Car Waxes, Car Polishes, Car Covers, Car Accessories.

b) Spoke & Slot Brush - Simple, safe, and effective, ultra-soft bristles squeeze into wheel crevices.

c) Lambs Wool Spoke Brush - it replaces those awkward spoke brushes that never seem to be the right size and lack soft bristles on the tip. This tapered ultra soft tool is completely covered with 100% lambs wool and is small enough to squeeze between spokes, slots and around bolts 6 1/2" long, 1/2" to 2" in diameter - http://www.topoftheline.com/wool-wheel-brush.html

I personnally have a Boar's Hair Brush, an E-Z Detail Brush and a dedicated wash mitt for wheels and have yet to need anything else.

I also use the EZ-Detail Brush for the inside of the wheels, and it works great.

I have a Boar's Hair Brush for the outside of the wheels when they are not very dirty. I have a Mothers Wheel Brush that works better (a bit stiffer bristles) on slightly dirtier wheels... and is still safe to use. I could probably use the Mothers brush all the time for the outside of the wheels.

I also just use a wash mitt. I have a Meguiar's brush that is pretty darn soft, but I'd rather use the mitt instead.
