What wheels you got, multi spoke with thin spokes, wheels with 4 or 5 large spokes etc?

Whats your current method of cleaning your wheels

What parts of the wheel do you want to clean.

Ill give you an example.

I have 3sdm 0.05's that are coated in c5 my routeen is.

1) Spray discks with BH atom mac

2) Foam all 4 with diablo wheel gel in a dedicated foam lance.

3) rinse of Diablo

4) get my soap bucket with a diluted mix of AF revolution

5) Clean backs of wheels (barrels) using a halfords microfiber noodle wheel stick/brush

6) Clean faces, lips and around the spokes with the streetwize monkey MITT (its a god send for wheels)

7) clean lug nuts, writing, around valve stem and center car with a soft detailing brush using the water from my bucket

8)clean tires using a wilko bumper brush and some soapy water from my bucket

9)rinse

10) spray with AF aquacoat and rinse again

11)Dry

Thank you I have a golf with multi spokes so just something really allround 👍

I was thinking this the other day as decent brand brushes are like triple the price of the counterpart bodywork cleaning cloth. Most don't seem any other parts than a big standard 'brush' bang wheel brush on there and it's twice the price. I'm after something decent but deffo not paying more than you would for a mitt ect. Seems the new fad at the mo wheel cleaning.

I tried all the cheaper (supermarket/halfords) options and asked for the 3 x wheel woollies for an xmas present 2 years ago. I have had loads of different alloys to clean and they just work.

Should have done it long before...

Yes, they are expensive but, as I am sure I have read before, instead of going out on the lash one night, stay in. That's them paid for.

I have 18" 5 spoke alloys , i have wheel woolies but in all honests i only use them to clean the inner rin, i actually use the halfords noodle glove to clean the faces, can comment on the streetwize one but halfords one seems fine, i dont use the mesh side, wheel woolies would probably work better on multi spokes though

When your halfords one gives up the ghost try the streetwize one, you wont be disapointed, longer cuff. more noodles and slightly deeper pile, all round feels like better quality. My halfords one is now a toy for my Daughter as I dont use it since getting the streetwize one

and cheaper
