Thin rim brush

tsn · 03-23-2025, 11:45 AM

Hi
Anyone have some good suggestions about rim brushes that fits between the caliper and the rim? On the G8X cars it is super tight here, and I am struggeling to fint some brushes to fit between.

These or some of the microfiber ones might do the job:

Greetings,

Make your own...use a wooden paint stir stick or wooden dowel. Cut and glue strips of microfiber towel to the stick. I agree - the tolerances are pretty tight between the wheel and caliper.

You are not going to find a brush that properly cleans between rim and F8x/G8x caliper. Two options:
1). Clean the wheels thoroughly by taking them off the car, then ceramic coat the barellels and make future chemical cleaning quicker and easier. In the future, just spray wheel cleaner in the tight spaces and power-wash the residue afterwards. Done.
2). Scrub the inside of the wheels with any brush, then roll the car FWD by a foot or two, and clean the areas that were previously covered by the calipers.

HTH,
a

We jarheads know a thing or two when it comes to cleaning. We are the world's janators.

Holy cow, you went from SoCal to Kentucky? I'm sorry!

I did the exact opposite. Stayed in SoCal for 10-years. Now I'm back at home. You couldn't pay me to go back to Cali because of the traffic alone!
