Perfect for cleaning Storm wheels

Lurker · 16th March 2008, 11:43

I want to share this great tool for cleaning the Storm wheels. I'm sure it will be good for other wheels too but for cleaning my 18" storms this is excellent.

It's the Black wheel ShMitt. You can find it here on the cleanyourcar site. You slip your hand inside the mitt and it features different textures on each side.

It's perfect for cleaning the outer surface and concave dishes of the wheel but the ShMitt also fits snugly between the inner part of the wheel and the brake disc cover. It can then be moved slowly around the inside of the wheel circumference cleaning the normally difficult inside as it goes.

Be careful as you move the ShMitt around past the edges of the disc guard as they are sharp - as I now know to the cost of my right hand but other than that it's a perfect tool.

Personally I use a noodle mitt for my wheels which I got at Costco

I think it was around £8.00 for a pack of 4

Costco are also good for Microfibre cloths 24 for about £8.00

And I got 25 Litres of Turtlewax Professional Wash n wax for £15.00 which is good in the bucket or via my foam lance as a pre wash
