Default Any tips for cleaning rivets on wheels

I would appreciate any tips for reducing the time required to clean my wheels. The rivets look nice but they are a pain to keep clean. Anything that can be done besides the tedious/painstaking small towel method. I am currently looking to find a small brush or sponge to assist me this year. Anyone else have any tips?
Thanks
Gene

A detailing kit should include an assortment of brushes. One of my favorites is a round brush with the bristles cut short.

DavidV where did you get the brushes from? How much from them? Those look like they can stand up to scrubbing and will actually get some of brakedust/grime off. Not knocking it but q-tips would be something I would do once every 2 months(seems tedious).
Thx 350dgrz for sugg
