any recommendations on wheel brushes?

wheel shit is in my cart

Sure. I have a bunch of brushes. But the main ones I use are below.

This is what I currently use for general use here

For tight places especially lips behind spokes and such here

For small places and lug nut holes here



I also have a long reach brush for cleaning the inner barrels of the wheels. But not sure where I got them.

Ridiculously expensive repairs and maintenance guaranteed. It’s not like a boy racer car you can buy a new turbo for a few hundred bucks.

I spent 18 hours and $3000ish DIY on my 335i.

Do you miss it now its been awhile? I do miss the 06 750i.. 4 solid years of no issues and only maintenance was valve and intake valley gasket or whatever they call it.

Drove it from 48k miles to 130k before bailing.

It’s been about 7 weeks now I think? I miss the driving experience of the car but I also do not dislike the Prius. I really do sit in traffic so much, the car I’m driving doesn’t matter. Already put over 4000 miles on the car.

You say that now. I lasted 2 years in a civic and couldn’t take it any longer.

Get yourself a couple of different style of wheel brushes, a spray bottle and buy Sonax wheel cleaner. It is expensive but makes cleaning wheels SOOOOO much easier.

this shit is fucking awesome.

i have seen people post about it on here before but never bought it... but holy fuck, i used it last night and it's game changing. I'm going to buy the big bottle and just refill my mini. this is going to be a weekly thing i've learned sooo might as well be ready for it.

I love this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E9E76F0/?tag=tcg21-20

It's durable and can be bent/manipulated to hit awkward spaces.

You need to get yourself some BMW center caps for the wheels.

i got the one you linked- but the link is dead now for some reason

i wonder if the oem center caps would fit the wheels i have now.
