Default Soft Wheel Brushes on Volks/Rays?

I realize the usual method involves diluted car soap and a rag/microfiber cloth.

Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone had tried out any soft wheel brushes at all?

I read a thread somewhere of someone using these on their Volk GTS wheels.

And these don't really look abrasive at all either:

Thanks.

Honestly with frequent upkeep the GTS shouldn't be to hard to clean. I only use soap, water and a microfiber towel. Everything is super easy to clean...

...besides where the wheel face spoke meets the lip. For that area I use a small horse hair brush to get in that really small crevice (that takes the longest).

As for getting all the water out of the lips/barrel that is another story

Stay away from brushes you might scratch the clear coat. Had my TE37's for a couple years and they still look new every time they are washed.

I read through this entire thread Andy created years back. Will answer anything you need to know about caring for your Volks.

Also read that a while back and have been following it.
Just wondering if anyone has done it differently since that article has been written.

Boars head brush is perfectly acceptable for cleaning around your lugs
