I've tried some (admittedly cheap) wheel woolies and the spaces are so tight that it destroyed the whoolie.

I also liked the thinner nature of this one. I do wish it was flexible and could bend like the Adams, but not that big of a deal. Yeah, I often wonder how much of a bitch it is to clean wheels like yours. Lots of nooks and crannies. Give it a shot for $8 bucks. I've had a few threads fray off the material that I just cut off with scissors.

I like these. Gets into the nooks well and can build up a nice lather.

Those are nice and soft and good for applying product. I am not so sure how good they are at agitating brake dust and dirt.

I have thought about those for the hard to reach spots and tight spots, just haven't bought any yet.

They work pretty well for me. Generally I only hand wash my wheels every other wash (I wash once a week typically) and use the pressure washer on the off weeks and it does enough. I'm fairly happy with the results.

Alrighty, SOLD, I just ordered from your link, hey, what's another detailing product, right? My only rule of thumb is it can't be abrasive in any way like some of the nylon brush examples posted.

Here is my routine every wash on the car and wheels, generally weekly. Spray down with Sonax. While it's turning purple, I foam bath the body with my foam cannon on a hand gun. Then I take the tool I linked to and agitate all wheel surfaces. Then I switch from the hand gun to the wand with a 40 degree tip on it and I gun down the wheels at a close range, maybe a few inches from the surface. MF Mitt on the foam bath and then I finish up the body with a rinse with the same wand.

Wheels come out perfect. Mind you I have a recent ceramic coating on them.

Dry off everything with an Ego 765 blower and a quick wipe with Bead Maker where necessary.

Of course it depends on which wheels you have, but I like tried-and-true technology, and for me it's a sponge.

I couldn't find one that I liked enough, so I bought a grout sponge from the hardware store and cut it in half. It's very large, soft, and as long as you keep it clean (this applies to anything, really) it won't scratch.

I had the 826 wheels on my M4, which are gorgeous but a real PITA to clean, and the half sponge worked great. The 845M wheels on the G30 are much easier...

I have 19 in 635 wheels. Lost of spokes. I don't know the number but wife's new (to us) X7 has the 21 in M Sport wheels. Should be easier to clean.

Soft MF only and some Sonax and a little agitation with this:

Still on this one after almost a year and I use it weekly. I rinse it with hot water. But even if it deteriorated, for $8 bucks, it's pretty much disposable.

Eh my wheels are all f'd so I can care less until I get them refinished

Ordered this and it arrived this week. Hoping for the rain to stop this weekend so I can wash the cars.

I guess I missed the memo about someone picking up Memphis and putting it in Seattle.

Sounds like you have ordered something, but I have been heavily researching detailing my own car and made a post about it here where I list all the products and tools I have found work well. https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...7#post29638007

I have been finding this kit did a great job on my wheels and brake calibers: https://amzn.to/3BAueCt
