Cleaning 15 spoke wheels
Discussion
OK, what's the answer. My wheels have got more nooks and crannies than you can shake a stick at and it's pretty much impossible to get them clean by hand without spending hours on the task. I've had enough.
Holding a wheel brush and spinning it in my fingers is one of the more effective ways of tackling the dirt but it's a real PITA. Got me thinking - is there some sort of brush suitable for cleaning wheels that might fit in a variable speed electric drill? I've never seen one.
Suggestions please.

Toothbrush & patience?
Precisely. It's that traditional method I'm seeking to sidestep with some sort of powered solution.The set of brushes someone posted [above] from Amazon are the kind of thing I have in mind but much too wide for this fiddly job. I might have to go with something like this and devise a way to fit the skinny ones into the chuck of my drill,

When I know I'm cleaning two or three cars in a row and some of them have fussy wheels, the best tool is a small mechanics seat to take the pressure off your back.
Your point is well made. I sometimes run one side of the car up onto ramps for exactly the same reason.Someone mentioned Dremel - that's smaller than I need. Mind you, perhaps a second-hand electric toothbrush from ebay....
