Get yourself some Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner. Watch the start of this video and then skip to 3m30s https://youtu.be/8kTtfxSHFvc
It's not cheap but works superbly and unless the wheels are ABSOLUTELY FILTHY you will not need a brush at all !
It's that Effect-ive ! :thumbsup:

This is what you need to clean between the narrow spokes......literally takes a few seconds. I didn't even need to use any bilberry just meguiars gold class. MV2's no longer a pita!

That's exactly what I use. Wheel Woolies are good but don't get into the spokes.
I have an old toothbrush I bent to get behind the spokes.
Takes about an hour to clean the wheels alone!

It should be thin enough to fit into your wheels crevices. Relatively expensive but works far better than anything else I have used.
This brush doesn't fit between the spokes as the tip of it is too wide.

Works on the rest of the wheel though and is excellent quality. It's like the rollers from a car wash when it gets wet.

Yeah Taz, you could just let the dirt corrode off instead. :D
As a previous suffering 108 owner, that’s an excellent response!! :rofl:
