    I have found dish washing brushes to be perfect for tire walls, they're the perfect balance of not being too rough to end up scratching the rim but sturdy enough for heavy scrubbing. And they cost a fraction of what a tuf shine tire brush does.

    Personally I use the following tools for cleaning my wheels:
    - Stiff bristle dishwashing brush for the arch liners, tyre sidewall and sometimes the barrel of the wheel, if it is already in a bad condition.
    - Soft bristle dishwashing brush for the brake calipers and on in the gap between the tyre and the rim.
    - Paintbrush with synthetic hairs, for the nooks and crannies at the base of the spokes, on the brake calipers and by the lug nuts.
    - Microfiber noodle-style washmit for the bigger areas.
    These very cheap and readily available tools serve me quite well.
    I might completely miss the point, but what is the amazing ability of a "detailing-brush" compared to a decent quality paintbrush?
    As always, I really enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!

    Spent more time on one wheel and tire than I do on my whole vehicle lol. Looks perfect though.

    How do you deal with the rust building up on the rotors? Because on my car they usually get really rusty after a wash and when im driving later it gets on the freshly cleaned wheels

      Immediatly after drying you car drive forward and backwards 10 times and the rust is gone. Or use only Wheel soap no iron removers or something like p&s brake buster
