Sponge on a Stick

http://www.dynamic-living.com/produc...ge-on-a-stick/

This works great for cleaning wheels. Yes, it is supposed to be for old people to wash their own backs, but it works perfectly for wheels. It is only $6 and has a plastic handle that won't scratch our wheels. I am obviously not affiliated in any way with this company, just a happy customer.

It's durability is pretty good but not fantastic. The sponge seems very well attached to the stick and I haven't had one separate yet. My calipers are close to the wheel so it is a tight fit to cram the sponge in there, but it does slide in and gets both the wheel and the caliper clean. After doing this enough times the sponge does start to look ragged but still functions fine. For me, these get in the tight places better than anything else I have found.

Wouldn't you be better off with an EZ Detail brush? Shorter handle and more flexible.
