Can't find this brush anywhere. It's a chenille brush made with flexible wire. Awesome wheel and grille cleaner. I've looked everywhere online.

I can find chenille brushes online, but they are very thick and not flexible. Some are from Chinese and Russian websites - no thanks.

I bought it at an auto parts store in Raleigh NC - can't remember the name of the store. Does anyone know where to find one?

Can't say I've seen that brush, or even anything exactly like it. A few alternatives you might find worthy are the EZ Detail brush and/or the Wheel Woolies. I like and use both on almost every detail job, but I understand they're not exactly like what you're trying to replace.

That's a coffee pot cleaning brush. I saw one tonight in a store, remembered this post, so I took a photo of it. You'll have much much better luck with a Daytona speed master or set of wheel woolies.

Thanks man! I haven't found anything as good for cleaning wheels, and I've tried a bunch. The great thing about the "coffee pot brush" is that it is just the right blend of stiffness/flexibility, and flat enough to slide between the front caliper and the wheel so that I don't have to jockey the car around to get the entire inside of the wheel clean.

You bet! If it helps I saw it in a Marshall's Home Goods. Depending on how close you are to the PA line it might be worth the drive up here.

I hear you on tight little gap between the front calipers and the rim. Have you tried the smallest wheel whoolie? Or the Daytona Jr brush? I think either will work into that spot, but haven't tried them myself yet.

Greetings,

Why not make your own...easily done...take pride in your own invention and creativity. See picture below. Wooden dowel, cut-up microfiber towel and a good cordless drill. Impress your friends...be sure to make one for your neighbor.

However, to answer your original question - no, but you might also try Griot's Garage...they have a variety of wheel, tire, and detailing brushes.

I would think you could make your own. Insert a bent coat hanger into a wooden broom handle or dowel (cut broom handle or dowel to suit), fold and sew a hefty microfiber towel into the shape of a sock, slip over the coat hanger and sew down the center line. Presto - you're own handmade replacement brush.

lmao - homemade sex toy turned wheel cleaner!

Seriously, my biggest issue with most offerings (e.g., Griots) is that the heads are always too big, the shaft is too stiff, and the...

aw, dammit.

I gotta say, the more I think about that coffee brush - the more I like it as an option for tight spots. Plus if it's being sold at Home Goods it's gotta be cheap. Wish I had looked at the price!

Have you tried coating your rims with a sealant? Last fall I cleaned/clayed/polished and coated my E93's rims with Detailer’s Wheel Coating. Managing the dust has been way easier since then.
