Default Which Christmas wheel brush?

I’m not much of a car cleaner but I think family was telling me something about the wheels on my 19 Z06...

so which one should I keep and the rest go back!

Keep 'em all fish, brushes wear out quickly at my house. The two at the top are good to get into the spokes (and there are many on those wheel) easily. And they should also be good to clean the barrels, but you need to remove the little round hand guard. The bottom one is good for the tires when they need a good scrubbing.

Also, where did the two at the top come from? I need a couple of those myself.

Default Brushes

The ones at the top are Daytona Speed Brush. You can get them through Autodesk.net. you don't need to remove the coller and the brush will clean the whole width of the wheel.

If they have a longer one - like about foot - I'd get that to clean the barrels.

I treated mine with cQuartz when I had them off. It makes it way easier to clean them. The Z06 wheel has so many spokes, I was looking for any edge I could get.

The problem I have with brushes like the two on top is the bristles are too coarse and when you work it back and forth between the spokes, it'll spray soap back into your face. I would go for a microfiber brush like the one being sold online at Obsessed Garage.

Will these fit between the caliper and barrel on a Z07? Any idea?

My current wheel scrubber requires me to move the car forward/backwards a couple feet in order to clean that area.

Use either one of the first two on your wheels and the wooden brush on your inner wheel housing.
