JDN how do you clean the inside of the rim. I mean the space behind the spokes, wich is clearly visible and very clean in your picture. My brush doesn't make it that far.

I use that little dirty brush that I posted. I also have a wheel brush for the outside. I am a bit more critical of my wheel cleaning job than you are. I go over the wheels pretty fast so did not do the perfect job. Also, these had been driven for one very short run since cleanup.

i've just purchased a california dash duster yesterday for a very good price in wal-mart, $6.97 . i think it's the same thing as the mini duster you guys mentioned. my car is still in the shop so i tried it at home . man, it worked ! i've also bought a black magic pro-detailer finishing tool. it's a small brush on one end and rubber tip on the other. it says "rubber tip reaches dirt in tight spaces; ideal for removing wax along vehicle seams; metal-free for no-scratch detailing; goes places a vacuum can't". sounds like a magic wand, especially it's only $2.27 . will try it out after i have my car back.

I use JDN's brush also. It is the best for getting inside the wheel, behind the spokes so your whole wheel is cleaned, not just the outside visable part.
