Cleaning Wheel Rims
My TTS came with the 20 inch wheels. I wouldn't have gotten them, but they were part of the package. (I personally don't find skinny tires all that attractive, and the ride not only gets rougher, but I need to keep an eye out for potholes lest I destroy a rim).
The 20 inch rims are a pain to clean. Lots of small spaces and they are too small to get a hand in between in order to clean behind the spokes.
Any one out there who knows of a good brush and cleaner that can do the job without skinning my knucles?

I use Griot's Garage wheel cleaner (pH balanced and environmentally friendly) and their natural bristle wheel brush.

I similarly use Detailer's Pro Wheel Glaze post-cleaning. Definitely helps stave off the brake dust. Detailer's Pro Series Wheel Glaze

Bob, you're looking for "wheel woolies" (brush and long-handled cleaning tools) and P21S wheel cleaner. I believe you'll find everything on Detailer's Domain (forum sponsor) website.

Yes, wheel woolies.
I wanted to get them last year. Detail King had them in their catalog, but said they never arrived.
Good to know someone else carries them, Thanks!

This was on the old s4 but same concept, sonax or Adams wheel cleaner and woolies or bristles.
Hopefully the links work, my steps for wheel cleaning:

I also have the 20's on my TTS. I have settled into using the Armor All Wheel Protectant, using my air compressor to blow out any brake dust, and then believe it or not a swiffer to clean up any smudges, etc.
