Wheel cleaning
Looking to find something to clean the wheels with that isn't abrasive. Some/most of the wheel cleaning brushes I have seen look quite abrasive and looks too rough to use on alloy wheels. Is this the case? Should I just use a sponge instead?

I use the griot's boars hair brush, works great. It's very soft, but I do fear the boars may not have been shaven to get the hair.

Griots wheel cleaner is very good. Just spray the cleaner and wipe off. Works well on BMW brake dust. Just remember that the wheels should be cool when you clean them regardless of what you use. |

I went to my local dollar store and bought an awesome "brush" but it has a ball sponge on the end of it. It is perfect for the wheels and super cheap.

I use a wash mitt made of what appears to be condensed pipe cleaner type material. Works great and the brake dust washes right off of it.

I just use a microfiber cloth and wipe the wheels down each night...keeps the dust from building up and only takes a couple of mins...MAYBE 10 mins if I've driven it hard that day. The next morning before I drive it, I wipe and shine the entire car...keeps the car and wheels looking great and takes me less than 20 mins per day. I was wanting different wheels but after the ease in which the stocks are cleaned, I think I just might keep 'em!
