Default Cleaning lug nuts

what are you guys using to clean the lug nuts?? I've seen a few brushes on internet that go over lug nuts to clean that hard to reach area. Want to know if they work....

Thanks

I bought a car cleaning kit from Costco a few years back. It included a lug nut brush that you could soap up and turn around the lugs to clean them. It works wonders.

Those brushes are hard to come by now a days, but those will work. Also, a microfiber on a little stick works well too.

Rinse the wheel down till it's cool to the touch.

Apply P21s wheel gel and allow to dwell for 5 - 10 mins depending on your level of dirt.

Attack with a nice soft brush to agitate the wheel gel, such as a Swissvax wheel brush.

I just go through my local touchless wash with rain-x product. Makes it easier for me to know my lugs are all clean!
