Default Ok other than a stick with a rag on

The end of it or a sponge with a handle , what or how do most of you clean your deep dish rims with , I'm sick of busting my knuckles while washing the rims ??

Let me find it online....

Here we go:

It's the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush.

Although I do stick my hands in my wheels when drying.

I got a narrow micro fiber sponge type tip with a handle (Kinda looks like a long Q-Tip) probably about 12" long from handle to the tip!

Got it at Walmart -

Or when they are fairly dirty I will jack it up and clean the backside with a wash rag and spin the wheel to clean the inside of the rim!

Thanks,Matt

I have a 'bottle brush' type like the speedmaster. I also hated knuckle busting AND the leopard spots I'd end up with when I withdrew the brush from the wheel. The handle of this brush is hollow, so I added an appropriate sized dowel to the handle, about 18" long. Can't tell you how much better it works, and I can get all of the wheel and not get splattered...as much.

Dam Jack, that's a lot of work .. Lol
But on a good note I did buy a Master Blaster, that thing is fun to use you can dry the car completely in 10 mins , along with everything else ...

I wipe my wheels down every time I drive my car with a damp micro fiber, so they never get really dirty. I pull them off 2-3 times a month to clean the barrels.
