I have standard leon cupra alloys. You know the twin split 5 spoke type.

I have tried numerous brushed but they all seem crap. The megulars thats about 12 inch long is great except when you slide it back out of the wheel - it flicks it all back over you.

I tried the flash wash mitt syle one and that fell apart.

Anything out there thats any good???

The EZ detail brush is good - i've got 3 in my van, but they snap pretty easily - maybe more easily because i use mines around an hour a day.

£17 from Ron @ Motorgeek

I bought a wheel brush from tesco. £3 I think, does the job and wont matter if it breaks (although it hasnt) as its cheap enough to replace.

The only way your going to get the wheels truly clean is to take them off and use a bit of old fashioned elbow grease. I use a knackered old spung and every now and then go to town on them off the car.

I have tried most brushes but most i have tried you cant reach the other side of spokes! or get into the caliper / brake disc. But the sizes from valetkleen powerstick you can do all that and clean other sides of spokes as it spins with soft fabric with no flick backs or scratch. www.rimwax-valetkleen.co.uk or if you want any smart wax then they sell that too or go to www.valetkleen-waterless.co.uk they are highly in demand and they are also waterless valeters. I am also waiting for a new wheel face cleaning power brush of them i will let you know how good that is. :)
