    well i like Hot Rims Chrome wheel cleaner because its made specifically for chrome so you know its safe and i cant really help you on the brush part because anytime you are using a brush you risk adding scratches to either paint or a delicate rim. They do have some soft brushes made for rims but i am still a little skeptical on using them so i tend to just hit it with hot rims then spray off after waiting for it to work on the dirt and grime then i touch them up with a good microfiber towel ( one damp and one for drying )

      That's why i didn't use any brush until now but i was wondering if there is something safe to use for those rims....

        I've read some people use a separate wash mitt for their wheels.

        I am on my last yellow Meguiars spoke brush which has been great, some and the wheel brushes can be found at discount stores like Big Lots and some dollar stores (not Dollar Tree, at least at mine).
