Wheel cleaning brush recommendation

I'm looking of something other than a sponge to clean my polished wheels and wife's painted wheels with. I was going to get the Adams horse hair brush, but it's discontinued now. I'd prefer a brush, especially when washing in cold weather. Any good recommendations that will be gentle on the surface?

Anything with boars hair will do you fine.

Ahh boars hair...that's what I meant. Not horse hair. Thanks for the recommendation CamaroDreams07. I reference your comprehensive product guide often. Lots of great stuff in there.

If you want one to get the barrels clean....

An EZ detail brush or Speed Master is a must.

I got one of those flat microfiber yellow cleaning tools that Autozone sells just for cleaning the barrel and it works well, they don't even have a picture of it on there site so can't really show you

I can only say I got the EZ Detail brush, and I hate wasting money. That was the best $26 I have spent on a cleaning item so far. It works, reaches the backs, and no busted knuckles... until i have to wipe the barrels dry. I use a regular wash mitt for the fronts and spokes.

I use a leaf blower to dry the wheels.

Wheel Woolies are killer, and very versatile. Not just for wheels.

We are selling the 3-pack on closeout right now since we will be releasing a new, angled version that will sell individually. Great time to pick up the 3-pack!

Soft wheel brush from Walmart $4, works really well alongside the eagle wheel cleaner I bought there too.

I have an assortment........ they are of exceptional quality. I would recomend you try the 1&1/4 for rims and exterior brushing and the 1/2 for interior work.

This is another style that you may have found on some "detailing" sites...... They are also amazing
