The wand for from Simplygoodstuff turned out to be a bust. It is way to thick to fit between the calipers and barrel. Plus it is 30 inches long. I didn't take the time to read the specs but ordered by the picture. What I received doesn't look like the pic. Not worth returning due to shipping costs.
My bad and the hunt goes on.
Still puzzling for me because I had a product that worked but cannot find it again.

I did find this one on Amazon UK. From the pictures (and there is a human for scale!) is is similar to the original one I had from target although not quite as thin.

Have you consider wrapping one or 2 layers of microfiber towel arround a stick to stir the paint? I use a long one for 5 galons bucket and it fits tight between the front caliper and the wheel on my ZR1

I have searched for a good amount of time and have come up empty.
What I am looking for is a flat "working end", with a synthetic like leather cover over the the handle rod that a microfiber cover slips over.
I picked one up years ago and am unable to find the same tool. The auto store doesn't carry it anymore and nobody remembers it.
It works well cleaning between the brake calipers and the rim barrel on the C6.
Everything I come across doesn't fit between the brake caliper enabling cleaning the barrel.
I like the microfiber cover because it cleaned well with just some detail spray.
I have a brush with nylon type bristle's that fits but it isn't as thorough cleaning.
The smaller of the 2 "Incrediblebrush" appears to be to thick, as advertised in a video. But basically what I am looking for just thinner.

The paint stir stick isn't pliable enough. It needs to confirm some.

A couple of these brushes might work, the xtra long Noodle -blue and the one below it.

I love this thing. I actually used it tonight. The pad compound that came with my Wilwoods dusts like crazy. I am always cleaning my wheels. Makes it SO easy when you have the right tools!

The Speed Master wheel brushes will scratch a gloss black wheel, if you have gloss black rims it needs to be professionally ceramic coated to allow your pre rinse to release as much metal particle (brake dust) as possible before using a dedicated rim cleaner such as IronX or just you favorite car wash soap with a Wheel Woolie rim cleaning brush which is composed of microfibers VS the speed master which is plastic.
