IMO wheel brushes are are entirely too stiff for my liking. SInce the stock wheels are painted, I would use whatever you would use to wash your car (NOT THE SAME MITT!!!!!!). Another option people use is the cheap sponges from Pep Boys. I have heard of many peeps buying tons of em, using them for a couple of washes then throwing them out.

I bought a 4 finger wheel wash mitt from GRIOTS for my Bro-in-law as a gift and of course had to check it out visually first. Looks extremely well made, very soft, and you can wash it after each wash or every other wash. Wasn't expensive either, I think it was well under $10!!

I actually think the mitt will be faster! Also, the mitt makes it easier to get behind the spokes to clean!

Griots has a ton of of products, it's a small grey mitt. I also bought the sheepskin winter mitt (rubber waterproof liner) and LOVE IT!!

The only brush I would think to be soft enough is a boars hair brush but they are $$!!

Good Luck!

Ahhh good find PUFF! I have tried their car wash shampoo and wheel cleaner and they work AWESOME!!! I think their car wash shampoo is by far the best I have ever used and that includes ZAINO (YES, I am a huge fan of Zaino, but the DD soap is the shiznit!)
