Well, my driveway isn't flat and is too much of an angle to safely unmount rims to do wheel well and inner rim cleaning. When I try to unmount in my garage, it makes such a mess from water splattering all over the floor and making it a slippery mess. I use brushes for this job and can't clean directly behind the tire or the inner wheel very well. What ideas do you guys have in this situation. Here is a reference picture of my driveway. The elevation change from the silver car to the blue car is how the driveway is angled.
The EZ Detail brush is really good at cleaning inner wheels without removing them. It will take a bit more effort, but if your willing it is possible.
I remove wheels maybe once a year to fully clean and seal them inside, but honestly you can just use EZ brush or Raceglaze XL brush to clean them well. Combine that with a good wheel cleaner (P21S, Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner, CG Diablo) and you are set.

How flexible are these brushes for cleaning? I know that the EZ Detail Brush bends, but I have also seen it break on a few occasions and I don't want that to happen for me. I haven't seen the Raceglaze brush break, but would it be flexible like the EZ Detail brush?
a raceglaze round wheel brush and a EZ detail and some elbow grease. there are a lot of good cleaners out there, AG CWC is very good for both wheels and tires and wheel wellswhich is a bonus.
So...the popular vote seems to be the Raceglaze brush and the EZ Detail brush. I'll order these before detailing season starts. The street going across my driveway is also a hill, but much less steep. :doh: Our house is built on the hill, while the houses around us are on top of the hill or on the base.
Taking the wheels off one at a time on the driveway would be too risky for me. I was hoping some detailers have had this issue and have come up with a trick contraption that wouldn't make a mess and be 100% safe. The consensus does seem to be brushes. If you guys are doing it this way, it should be good enough for me!
