Default wheel cleaning brush

I've looked everywhere for a brush that will fit between the spokes of the ES350 wheels. The space is so narrow that every time I buy a brush to jam it in, I wind up breaking it. I saw a set of Speed Master wheel brushes on Autogeek.com but even they look too wide for the spokes/wheels. If anyone has found an adequate brush that actually works please let me know.

The AutoZone/Metal free wheel and rim wand should work if you turn it sideways. I used this on my IS-F which had some narrow spaces.

Pep Boys has a woolie spoke cleaner that I use on my wheels and it works well. Here's the URL.

Yes they have been here for some time now. One just opened about 5 minutes from my house. The brushes are very soft and do take some abuse so they need to be replaced every 6 months or so. I usually buy them 2 at a time so I have a spare. Good thing is that they only cost about 6 dollars.
