Simoniz Alloy Wheel Brush

With so many similar designs available, price plays a greater role – and that hurt the Simoniz. Even so, it only just missed out on a podium spot, as it provides great cleaning with decent reach through the spokes. It has the twin-bristle loops of our winner, and good resistance to bending. The handle is made from soft rubber, although the plastic end is a little hard on the fingers.
