I wrote this thread a while ago on cleaning those wheels -

Those wheels need a few different brushes to get clean. Being gloss black is also a challenge.

You will want to have both sizes of the EZ-Detail Brush, I also liked to use a microfiber brush for the majority of the wheel, the EZ-Detail brushes to get behind the calipers. You also want a lug nut brush and a small wash mitt or pad.

i have some boar hair detail brushes. I also have a chemical guys wheel brush but once its wet it loses its fluffiness and feels like im rubbing a hairy dog leg on the wheels.

One thing to note with brushes for wheels is not getting ones with a wooden handle. As you can see here, the prolonged exposure to moisture tends to cause them to deteriorate very quickly. I actually had to glue this one back together. Plastic handles are best for this role.

The Detail Factory brushes are expensive but very well made. You can use either the boars hair or softer synthetic version. Both come in short and long handled versions, you want the long one.
