Default What cleaning tool for your C7 lug nuts?

Getting my list together of goodies to order during Black Friday sales and since my 2017 GS isn't here yet to help make my decisions....

What tool is everyone using to clean around their lugs? On my last vette (C6 GS), I used the one in the pic below. It worked okay, but if there's something better and easier out there, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks for your inputs!

Yes, it works. My question was if there is anything better that has come out.

I have used the blue handled tool with the foam insert ... unfortunately over time the foam gives out and tears or slides down and consistently needs to be realigned at every lug. I have found the brush to be better in amount every aspect. I do keep the bristles on the brush banded when not in use to avoid it losing shape.

Interesting. I don't doubt you at all... I just never would have thought soft brush bristles would be able to easily remove dirt and brake dust.
