What do you guys use?

What do you guys use to clean the lug nut holes on your rims when you wash your Camaro?

Is there a brush available?

I thought about buying a baby bottle brush but the bristles are too stiff and will scratch my rims and I dont wanna do that.

Any info would be appreciated

I have both sizes, but on the Camaros lugs I actually prefer the smaller one. I find myself using the 1.25" more for around badges and also for some interior work.

Really depends how dirty they get. With the car I can use em 2-3 times. With my wife's van I have to chane each time. The replacements aren't expensive. The kit I posted comes with extras

I either use a soft bristle tooth brush or a 1" paint brush along with the wash water to reach cracks and crannies.
