Default New Z06 Motorsport chrome wheels

I just got a set of Z06 chrome wheels. I plan on using RejeX on them initially. What I would like to know is what type of cleaning material, (Brush, pads etc) do you use for cleaning the wheels. I plan on using the Wheel cleaner from Griots Garage. What is the best type of wheel brush to use for this, as well as light dusting of brake dust.

I use Zaino on my wheels with great success. I am sure Rejex will work also since it is a fairly durable product, any durable polymer is perfect for that. Try a few and see which one has a better appearance on your chrome.

As far as cleaning them I use a foam coffee pot cleaner. It kinda looks like a foam ball cut into strands. I have even figured out how to replace the end when it goes bad with pieces of cut up sponge.
