I always like to keep the inside of my wheels clean and try to get them off the car twice a year in order to get some wheel wax on them.

In between deep cleans I have tried various wheel brushes to keep them clean with mixed results. This is slightly easier with my 5 spokes as they have nice big holes in which you can almost get your hand through.

On Friday whilst perusing my local Halfords I came across the following Meguiars Wheel Brush and thought I would give it a go.

It is fantastic. My wheels came up like new in a flash. Easy to use and with a rubber handle which doesn't damage the paint.

Highly recommended!

Yup, that's one of the ones I use :thumbsup: (different one for the face of the wheel and an even smaller one to get behind the calipers).

interesting, how much at halfords please - its my birthday soon and the kids keep asking what i want. A BSR upgrade is a bit expensive for them ...

Sub £10 rings a bell but it's not currently shown on line. The other brush to have is this one:

I think it was about £8. Certainly no more than £8.99.
