Wheel Well Brush/Wand

Hey guys,

So I have been searching and searching, reading good and bad reviews, and i can't pull the trigger on any brush to use for the wheel wells and rim cleaning. I HATE and refuse to use the metal wire and stiff plastic bristle one i have now on my car.

I have been using a workhorse MF with some wheel cleaner but the rotors and caliper are too close to the well to get a good clean w/ my hand.

What do you guys use? I'm sick of aimlessly looking on amazon. Not trying to break the bank, but I am in need of the right tool.

If you're talking about your wheel barrels (inside the wheel) I use a wheel woolie. The one I have has a bit of an angle to it that I'm not a fan of as the ergonomics are poor, but these look like the same thing.

By far my favorite brush for getting in those hard to reach spots. Just gotta be careful about the bristles slinging back at you!

The Adam's wheel woolie works great. The curved handle makes it easy to get in behind the spokes and it's long enough to reach the back side of the wheel barrel. Their turbo stick that goes with a power drill works well too.

Using the drill, the wheel woolie creates foam. You also don't bang your knuckles on the wheel. So easy.
