I use my MF wash mitt for my wheels if that makes you feel any better kenchan.

'cuz I don't have a boar's hair brush.
Besides with a mitt I can wrap my fingers around the backside of the wheel for that extra fresh feeling.

extra fresh feeling.

you can ruin your wash mitt with brake dust, imho. the particle is
very fine and i doubt it washes out each time with just normal
detergent in a washing machine...

any comments?

I have a dedicated MF mitt that seems to clean up just fine. I use the mitt for the face of the wheel and the brush for the back...

Like I said, my MF mitt is just for the wheels - and it is black with dead skin cells from the brakes. There is nothing short of nuclear radiation and 20% Hydrochloric acid that can remove this soiling. So the mitt is dedicated to the wheels for the duration.
