    Ok guys wanted to see what everyone is using to clean tires. Not talking about product but what type of cleaning tool. I have been using the black Wheel Shmitts and all of mine have worn out. Just wondering what everyone is using to clean their tires and maybe I should switch. I would really love to order from someone like Justin, Ben, Phil, or Pirex if I could.

    To clean the tires I scrub with a bristle brush I found in the cleaning section of Walmart and old bath towels.

    To clean my tires I use the DD long handle brush along with a a yellow lake country mitt. Most times I just use the brush as it does the trick by itself.

    While it's discontinued, I use the Meguiar's short handle tire brush. It's the one with the black bristles on the outside and the yellow bristles on the inside.

    OXO tire brush is the best I've ever used! Been using it for the last 4 years, lasts me at least a year! It's got good grips handle, and I just love it! Cleans tires so well, and doesn't scratch your wheels in case you are running it too close...

    I used Awesome form the dollar store most of the year. It was cheap and it does the job well!

    Griots sells a really nice tire brush for like 7.99, spray some rubber cleaner on, let it sit a second, scrub it in, then clean your wheel, then spray everything off!

    i found a plastic bristle brush from Harbor Freight... the bristles are yellow and the handle is a standard cream colored handle

    really like it alot... oh and i've been adding some citrus clear wash to my Grime Reaper and it helps stick to the tires and eat the crap off

    I spray my tire cleaner on my tires let them soak for 2 or 3 minutes. I use my pressure washer and no brushes...:shrug:
