There is a similar brush by black magic. There's a wheel brush (for the face of the wheels) and a spokes brush (for the sides of the spokes and the inner rim) and I think they're 12 bucks for the wheel brush and 10 for the spoke brush.

I use the super wheel cleaner (purple spray bottle, forgot the brand name) and spray it on the wheels. Works pretty well in getting brake dust off and it seems to really clean the calipers as well. But I spray it on, hose it off and then still wash it using soap and water with the wheel brushes.

it doesnt work on the hard brake dust in the corners, plus the water sprays back at you.

they're at pep boys.

i just use warm water and regular car wash solution (i'm partical to meguiars, but use whatever u want as long as it isnt dishwashing soap)

that drill piece looks pretty good too. i'd be more concerned about water/soap splatter, but must be nice. thanks for the heads up

obviously your going to get some...but do wheels first and you dont have to worry too much about it...

i havent used one myself yet, but i saw some wheels done with that then the power ball for polishing and they were pretty damn clean

fyi they sell for like 20 bucks
