Looking for a wheel brush
I'm looking for a good brushthin enough to clean around the lug nuts on my wheels. I've seen some pictures on this forum of people using the type I want. It basically looks like a thin painters brush with long horse hair on it.

For wheel cleaning, I use a combination of the tools in the Pinnacle Kit and a drill-attached foam cone.
The drill cone is good for cleaning the grime off the rims in open areas and even gets fairly far into tight areas (i.e. lugs). The cone comes with MF bonnets, however I've found them worthless for applying/buffing out wax/sealant (easier to do by hand IMO). The cone has been holding up half decent, though I don't see it being used regularly beyond 2-3 years (however, my rims have 40 faces on the spokes alone, so it gets a workout) The cleaner and tire gel with the kit work great, though note the gel gives a slick, wet look, as opposed to a flat finish Pinnacle Kit - http://www.autogeek.net/fcopiwhtikit.html Drill cone - http://www.autogeek.net/bufferstick-polishing-tool.html I then throw on a coat or two of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant http://www.autogeek.net/pbws.html Gives a nice shine and decent brake dust protection Hope this helps some

I realize the full size EZ detail brush has a lot of reach to get behind the rotors, but I found mine sitting most of the time. I went for the mini brush, and I like it a lot more even though it doesn't get as deep.
