Anyone know where can I get a good brush or something to stick in the wheels to give it a good clean? Bought many. Need something that really works!

Also anyone tried using a steamer to clean the interior before? my leather seats are quite soiled especially in the creeks area. anywhere to recommend to do it?

Looks like already hit under the clear coat and paint. As the body is exposed. Can touch up. But if you are anal, don't bother and go for respray.

I also have this one, bought from Singapore. This thing got 3 sizes,  I have the big and small. Going to buy the middle one from Taobao China soon.
This brush is very decent and suitable for spoke wheel already in my opinion. If it is not working well to you, then you probably can try wheel woolies.

Unfortunately I haven heard any local people selling it. I bought it from Singapore also. For 15" rim and below, the biggest wheel woolies cannot use much because too bulky.

If you are looking for a more flat, bigger contact surface kind of brush, you can try CarPlan brush which is available at Ace Hardware.

The left most product, which is this one:

is actually identical to what you posted but much smaller in bristle length. It is only suitable for tight space like if you have small rim plus a disc brake, then near the disc caliper this brush is the only brush that can go inside the gap.
But on other more spacious spoke the brush that you posted is better as the bristle is longer.

Overall Malaysia hard to find detailing accessories, especially good brush that has paint safe soft bristle.
I am looking for Mothers wheel brush series as well, last time here got people sell, but now the online shop is close down so I am still searching.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i am looking for something that can be fitted into tight spaces. Ie. spaces near the wheel and calliper.

Anyone got the link for Taobao for the wheel woolies?

any recommendation for interior quick detailing? (dashboard, wind screen, etc) clear dust away, dirt.
i went to ace hardware and saw BlackMagic 2 in 1 leather, but i scare it will attract more dust.

My all time favorite is Meguairs quick interior detailer. It's okay to let it dry itself as it do not cause streaks.

Btw anyone know where can I her a grit guard?

at the moment i'm using cheapo kura kura f21 shampoo... still undecided on what to use after that's done.

also, megs last touch is dumb as a clay lube. no idea why hypercoat pairing that with their proffessional clay bars doh.gif

Is okay to use shampoo as lube? Was thinking to do that as well. I thought that Meguairs used the quik detailer as clay lube but that's expensive!

In that case after washing my car it is wet. Do I have to dry it down completely then only clay with shampoo?

Cleared customs, no issue, but Parcel was damaged due to mishandling and insufficient packing. Lost 1 gal of spray wax because the bottle cracked.

Lodged a complaint, hope to get compensated.
