A cone brush is great for a few different reasons. This brush will help you to get in between spokes or further inside the wheels where other brushes can not reach.

Scrubbing the tires down right is what will help your tire shine last longer on the tire. There are multiple brushes needed since there are so many different tires out there.

These brushes are stiff enough but safe enough to remove any of that dirt that’s caked onto the rubber.
