Hi folks,
I'm a newbie when it comes into detailing.. I plan to buy mr clean's wheel brush: http://www.apbabrand...iling-brush.jpg
It is safe to use on painted aftermarket wheels? it's factory painted in gunmetal, not painted at paint workshops
But I'm afraid the brush's bristles will cause scratches to the paint.. any sifus could give comments?
and where to buy cheap claybar?
Thanks!

hi there, welcome!
1. yes it will scratch
2. but can minimise scratches
3. thoroughly rinse the rim front and back first before you start
4. put your hand inside the rim to remove any stones or mud first before using the brush
5. rinse your brush very often
6. hope for the best.
cheap clay bar? Not sure, but PG to me is cheap, Carefour, tesco got. Should not mix 2 questions in 1 thread.

Washing a car should be an artform, not a chore.

What about using a separate sponge to clean the wheels. This would be a better option if you are afraid of the brush scratching the painted rim. There are so many shape and sizes. If you cant find the right size just buy a big one and cut to your preferred shape.
I use a separate sponge to clean my rims.

Thanks all.. wow, so fast response in the auto detailing section!
I wanted to use brush to clean the parts where normal sponge cannot reach.. but if the bristles will scratch, might as well not use it or probably use baby bottle brush which have softer bristle
I've watched some videos online where they use ONR and brush the rims profusely.. so ganas!

You can try using the baby bottle brush and try to wrap a cotton polishing cloth or MF cloth then clean the wheel.

Try look for these brushes......
Bristles are longer, so less chances of scratching, but back fling is more....

It's easy when you know how...
