Default Say goodbye to Brake Dust with this - look

If this sort of thing has been posted before, I’m sorry in advance.
This is intended as a way to clean the INSIDE portion of the wheels, NOT the outside..
It is a simple, thin paint roller - probably available at Lowe’s or Home Depot. In combination
with Adams Wheel Cleaner, this works like a charm. Adams has skinny brushes, but they
were out of stock.. then this idea hit me... works great, especially with Z51, brake dust and
the Trident Wheels...

No comment on its effectiveness a s a wheel cleaner, but if you are looking for one of those, I believe you would ask for a "radiator roller". It is made for painting behind radiators.

Adam's makes a wheel brush designed to fit into an electric (battery powered, please) drill. Makes it pretty easy to get between the spokes and clean the barrel

This is exactly what I have used for several years now and it works fantastic. I bought a set that contained 3 sizes. Great for cleaning motorcycles to.

I normally never use anything from Armor All however this stuff works great keeping brake dust off your rims for about 2 months. You just spray it on:

I use a Swiffer Duster to clean brake dust off the barrels of the wheels on my C7. Worked well on my C5 too. Of course if you use water an soap, the other items posted here would work much better.
