Remove brake dust from areas a sponge can’t reach. Choose a flat wheel brush for tight gaps between spokes or a long brush to reach deep into the wheel barrel. Order your brush on its own or as a set with Wheel Cleaner.
Check the narrowest gap the brush needs to fit through. A flat brush is useful when the spokes are close together or there’s little clearance around the brake caliper. If you can see a dark band of grime deep behind the spokes, reach matters too. The brush should reach the inner barrel while you keep the handle outside the wheel.
The inner barrel is the curved inside surface you can see through the spokes. A brush that cleans the wheel face well may struggle to reach that surface. Choose your brush based on where dirt collects.
Choose a flat brush that fits between the spokes or alongside the brake caliper.
Look for enough reach and a blade you can guide along the curved inner surface.
Use a compact detailing brush to clean around the edges of the bolt recesses.
Our FLEX BLADE from The Collection is approximately 49 cm long and has a flexible 24 cm blade. Its flat profile slips through tight gaps, and once behind the spokes you can guide it along the curve of the barrel. The microfibre sleeve is washable, so you can rinse out brake dust and grit after cleaning.

Wheel Cleaner loosens brake dust and road grime. Use the FLEX BLADE to work the loosened dirt out from between the spokes and along the inner barrel. Check that Wheel Cleaner is suitable for your wheel finish.
View the bundleRinse loose grit off the wheel and dampen the microfibre sleeve. If there’s a greasy layer of brake dust on the inner barrel, loosen it with a wheel cleaner that suits your wheel finish. Work on one wheel at a time so you can rinse the cleaner off before it dries.
Slide the blade between two spokes and move it along the inner barrel. Pull the brush back out, rinse the dirt from the sleeve and move on to the next gap. If dirt remains around the wheel bolts, clean the recesses with a smaller detailing brush and rinse the entire wheel.
Does the brush catch near the brake caliper? Pull it back and try another gap. In tight spaces, the thickness of the brush head determines whether it fits, even when the brush has enough reach.
