Microfiber Wheel Brush

Has anyone found a good microfiber wheel brush that safely cleans the small cavities of the 20-inch multi-spoke Y-design wheels?

I currently use a microfiber wash glove but the fingers are too awkward to get into the cavities.

I don't have those wheels, however I have 3 different sizes of MF brushes that I use for various wheels and nooks and crannies. Just get some off Amazon, that is easiest. Unless you are searching for a particular weave, water retention target, or color...they are all pretty much the same. I mean, we are talking about cleaning wheels, the dirtiest part of the car.

I am a big fan of the Obsessed Garage brush, it does a great job and is big/ long enough to reach well into the rim.

Another key is the wheel cleaner, I have been using P & S brake buster which is good but my favorite to date is Turtlewax Hyper Foam wheel and tire. I always get good results on all of my vehicles with this product and it can be purchased at your local parts store.

Thanks for the info.

What wheels do you have that experienced the wheel cleaner? I have the multi spoke with black accents and don’t want to damage the brushed and painted surfaces in anyway.

Sorry the large photo....
Most of the wheel cleaners out there are safe on 99% of the manufactured wheels, some of them may be more acidic or basic depending on the job. But I have used thee two I mentioned on my AMG rims as well as my F-150 and my wife's Genesis with no ill effects...
The cleaner really makes the job so much easier.

Good luck

Nice looking car.

I like the black trim option for that body color. I selected that for my Sun Yellow colored 2025. I also had the small body colored roof sectioned blacked out with black PPF. It makes the roof look more uniform and clean.

I will try your cleaner on my wheels. I use a pressure washer with a foam canon to get into all the nooks and crannies. But spraying the wheels first will likely further ease brake dust removal and accumulation.

Thanks again.

I have the same black wheels as above and also use P&S Brake Buster cleaner. Never ever had a problem and have used P&S on our Range Rover, Cayenne, 911, and Raptor wheels all without a hiccup.

That cleaner does an okay job with the tires themselves as well, as long as they aren't really gunky and dirty, that should suffice as well. If they're really dirty, I use a dedicated tire cleaner.

Appreciate the compliment, very happy with the color combo, the only thing I do not like is the door handles being chrome, doesn't make sense if everything else is blacked out...
I'd like to hear your thoughts after you try the cleaner...
Good luck
