Introducing the Emporio Automotive, WHEELIE BARREL BRUSHES – your comprehensive and indispensable solution for achieving the deepest, most thorough clean on all types of alloy wheels, regardless of their intricate design or size.
When other wheel brushes simply fall short on performance and reach, this specialized duo is meticulously engineered to utilize every inch of its exceptionally soft yet highly effective bristles, ensuring meticulous cleaning in even the tightest and most recessed areas of your wheels. This essential detailing set includes both the compact yet powerful MINI WHEELIE BARREL BRUSH and the standard, deep-reaching WHEELIE BARREL BRUSH.
This pairing provides you with perfectly sized tools for every wheel design, from multi-spoke alloys with minimal clearance to deep-barrel performance wheels. Each brush within the set features an incredibly flexible, durable rod that allows you to easily bend and shape it according to the contours of your wheel. This remarkable flexibility enables you to effectively scrub and manoeuvre around challenging areas like oversized brake calipers, the innermost wheel rim, intricate lug nut recesses, and the tight spaces behind wheel spokes.
The extra-soft, high-density bristles are specifically designed to be exceptionally tough on embedded dirt, stubborn road grime, and aggressive brake dust, yet remain remarkably gentle and 100% safe on all precious wheel finishes, including delicate painted surfaces, brilliant chrome, durable powder-coated, and highly polished wheels.
Please note, do not use on gloss black alloys, please use a soft brush or mitt.

Application Directions:
IMPORTANT: Always ensure your wheels are cool to the touch before applying any cleaning products or using brushes, as hot surfaces can cause product staining or premature drying. Wear appropriate protective gloves when using wheel cleaners.
-
Pre-Rinse Wheels: Begin by thoroughly rinsing your wheels with a strong stream of water from your hose or pressure washer. This helps to remove loose dirt, heavy brake dust, and surface debris, reducing the risk of scratching during agitation.
-
Apply Wheel Cleaner: Spray your preferred, wheel-safe cleaner or a suitable all-purpose cleaner generously and evenly onto the entire wheel surface. Ensure full coverage of spokes, inner barrels, and brake calipers. Allow the cleaner to dwell for the recommended time as per the cleaner's specific instructions.
-
Select & Insert Brush:
- For very tight spokes, small gaps, intricate recesses, or wheels with minimal clearance, choose the MINI WHEELIE BARREL BRUSH.
- For deeper wheel barrels, larger wheel openings, and broader areas, use the standard WHEELIE BARREL BRUSH.
- Carefully insert the chosen WHEELIE BARREL BRUSH into the wheel barrel.
-
Deep Cleaning Agitation:
- Utilize the brush's flexible rod to carefully navigate around the brake caliper, along the inner wheel rim, and behind each wheel spoke.
- Gently but thoroughly agitate the surfaces with the soft bristles, working the cleaner into all embedded dirt, grime, and brake dust. Allow the bristles to conform to the contours of the wheel for maximum contact.
- Periodically remove the brush from the wheel and rinse its bristles in a dedicated wheel bucket to release trapped contaminants, preventing them from being dragged across the wheel.
-
Clean Face & Spokes: Use the brush to scrub the front face of the spokes, the hub area, and any other accessible surfaces on the wheel, ensuring all grime is thoroughly loosened.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Once all agitation is complete, thoroughly rinse the entire wheel and both brushes with a strong stream of clean water to flush away all loosened contaminants and cleaner residue. Ensure no cleaner residue is left behind.
-
Final Dry: For a spotless, streak-free finish, dry the wheel immediately with a dedicated wheel drying towel.
Care & Maintenance for Longevity:
-
After Each Use: Rinse both brushes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt, brake dust, and chemical residue from the bristles and rod.
-
Drying: Allow the brushes to air dry completely. Ideally, hang them or place them bristle-side down to ensure proper drainage and to help maintain bristle shape.
-
Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use with harsh solvents, strong acids, or extremely hot water, as these may degrade the bristles, rod, or handle over time.
Warnings & Precautions:
-
- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
- Not a toy. Adult supervision recommended when children are present.
- Inspect brushes before each use for any signs of damage (e.g., bent rod, frayed bristles, broken handle). Discontinue use if damaged, as this may lead to scratching vehicle surfaces.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
