17" Crown Spokers, NOT easy to clean inside!

Rejex'd everything two weeks back, all is well. Detailed it this weekend, and the MCS is stunning, but still the inner sections of the Crowners are a beast to get clean.

I spray with P21S wheel gel then clean the car, then hit the wheels with some decent spray. Wheels still need some hand work, but trying to get my cloth up behind the spokes is just way too hard.

Anyone solve this dilemma short of wheel removal? I know about wheel wax, etc, but I'm really looking for a quicker way (brush?) to get to the inner sections of the 17s and not scrape all the skin off my hands.

TIA

The inner sections of my wheels get cleaned about every 2-3k miles when they are rotated. I wouldnt worry about it now. Just clean them when you rotate.

I use a brush on mine. It's about 6" long and round. I can reach in there and get just about everything with it. I got mine at Advance Auto Parts.
