Default Any recommendations for wheel brush ?

May I know how do you wash your wheels and which brand of brush are you using? After 1 year ownership, I decide to clean those "yellow / dusty" wheel.

I'm thinking of Meguiar's dust remover spray. I really believe in this brand after applying Meguiar's ceramic coating on my car. It still very hydrophobic after 2 months(and it's very cheap).
Meguiar's G180132 Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner, 32oz, Spray => $22 from Amazon
Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner, G180124, 24 oz, Spray => $11 from walmart
The cheaper one looks good to me..

For the brush, One option is chemical guys wheelie brush. But I saw one bad review on Amazon, which says that it scratch the wheel rim(all other reviews are good). This one is $8 ~ $10



Another option is Adam wheel brush which is $20.

Also, I'm searching inner side brush of wheels, for example this one ? A lot of sellers are selling this kind of product on Amazon, I highly doubt it that is not scratching wheels.

Maybe I should use Adam's one ? Adam barrel brush

Wheel brushes suck, all of them I have something similar to this like it much better.
Amazon Amazon

For less delicate wheels I use a regular workbench dusting brush

I use Microfiber Madness Incredibrush. It works well for the inside barrels and does not scratch the finish.
For the spokes, I use a wheel wash mitt.

this one looks good. I bought similar thing before, but it is not made of microfiber. I may buy this one or Adam's polypropylene fibers barrel cleaner.

After I opened your link, google start send me Microfiber Madness Incredibrush's ad XD. They look like they are made by same brand / designer.
Your solution does give me a hint that I can use my spare microfiber mitt to clean spokes.

I was doing it with those yellow microfiber cloths you get from Costco in a package of lots. Dry wipe. Took two cloths (one per side). Discarded after use since they are cheap. Don't want brake dust in my clothes or washing machine. Then I had the dealer change the brake pads due to squeaking and I haven't had to clean them since.

I might give this one try. It's PITA to clean RC-F wheels.
