Default I can't reach sides of my rims



guys, where the red arrow point at, I think it's where the spokes meet the rim, I can't reach there. Everytime I wash my rims, that part of the wheels is dirty and I can't reach there because those spots are so tight. Is there like a small toothbrush I can buy that'll reach down there and I can get the dirt off ? I've tried regular toothbrushes but they won't reach there, they're too big. Is there some kind of toothbrush I can buy that'll reach down there and won't scratch , thanks guys

if not, there is wheel cleaner spray that works real well, so I am sure that will be able to do the trick if all else fails.

yeah how about you forget about those wheel cleaners, not worth the risk.

Come on, I'm sure if you really tried you could come up with something. This isn't rocket science

Go to the store and look at paint brushes. All different sizes. Even throw-away ones with a rubber tip.
