How about some fresh ideas ?

Any ideas on how to best clean between the narrow spokes on the stock ten spoke wheels ? BTW ... I've already tried the
Bar-B-Que mop ! Have a lot of those here in Texas !

I use a big thick heavy sponge and dilluted simple green....
Then I wax them with Maguires wipes...(NOT Lemon Fresh Pledge!!)

Oh no the dreaded simple green. Better watch out for the detailer guys to pounce on you.

Toothbrush and dental floss ? But seriously, those dishwashing things that cleans bottles are quite good, you can get them in all different sizes. Btw, whats a Bar-B-Que mop?

P21s Gel wheel cleaner - really won't mess up your wheels (this stuff rocks).

For a brush I have an 18" handled car washing brush that has 2" bristles. They get right into the wheels. Got it at pep Boys. (it kinda looks like a black handled, blue bristled giant toothbrush - giant cuz the head is 5x5")
