Wheel cleaning brush

Has anyone found a good wheel cleaning brush anywhere in Canada? Ive seen some good looking ones, but they all seem to be from US retailers. I cant find anything at canadian tire, auto parts source, walmart, etc, other than ones that look like they will scratch the hell out of my wheels.

Recommendations?

I bought a microfibre wash mitt for my wheels. I have a bucket I use for the wheels. Sfter I wash the car I use the wash mitt and give the wheels a good wash. The mitt allows me to get inbetween the spokes and do a good job...I can even reach into the inside of the sheels and give it a good wash too. I do not use any of the wheel cleaners on mine. I find the brake dust is intense on my 135 so the wheel cleaners don't get it all and I have to clean them by hand anyways. Also, I have been keeping a good coat of wax on my wheels so the brake dust is easier to remove. I find the wheel cleaners just strip off the wax. So far my wheels look as good as new!

This is probably the best wheel cleaning brush on the market, I know you can buy it seperately, but check it out for yourself

ha ha wheels are the most time consuming maintenance work to keep up.
I bought a wheel brush from Canadian Tire and it works very well.
