Hello all,

I just cleaned my OEM 18's today for the first time. Being a pefectionist when it comes to things automotive it took about an hr and a half. Is there any freaking tool or technique you guys have conjured up to get in the nooks and crannies of this wheel. Its like staring into the abyss when i think about doing this again. Thanks in advance.

Check out some of the wheel brushes on this page.

I use the Uber Boar's Hair Brush, Swissvax Wheel Brush, and Uber Spoke Brush with some P21S gel wheel cleaner. They work great.

I honestly hate cleaning the OEM 18's. Now I just remove the wheels with an impact gun, floor jack, and jack stands, then blast off the majority of the brake dust with a pressure washer. Wallah, no more pain in the ass wheels.
