Wheel woolies....? Has anyone used these and if so are they any good?

I've not used them but the site I use for my cleaning bits says this about them...

Our PB Wheel Woolies have been our bestselling wheel brushes for well over a year now, and for good reason, as their performance smokes the competition! As a result, we could be forgiven for sitting back and simply enjoying the sales, but as enthusiasts ourselves, we know that it's always great if good things are made even better. And this is what we've done with our PB Wheel Woolies, which have now been renamed as PB Luxury Wheel Woolies. Why? Well, for starters, we've extended the handle of the medium brush to match that of the large brush, and made all of the shafts a little bit stiffer. This is something that many of you with wide wheels and massive brake calipers have specifically been asking for. Next, we've made the ultra-soft polypropylene heads a little bit denser and longer, in order to increase their coverage and cleaning power. Although a bit pricey, our PB Luxury Wheel Woolies remain the best wheel cleaning brushes you can buy, and as such come highly recommended.

they sound good

Thanks mate   

Which company do you use for you bits?

I am going to have to google wheel woollies now

I use Polished Bliss for the majority of my kit - I've also bought from eBay too

Wheel woolies are awesome

Best wheel cleaners EVER!!!!

They look like a feather duster to me! Whats special about them compared to the sponge most use?

I don't use a sponge I use a cone shaped microfibre covered flexible polystyrene type material on a handle works quite well think they were made by car plan , mine is pink   

I take the wheels off and clean everything with a toothbrush....

OCD!!!

Have a look at this Janet, and if you watch carefully from about 2m 45s, the mini wheel woolie is perfect for cracks apparently

   are you saying I have dirty cracks Ian   
But I do see where I am going wrong    I'm not sitting on an upturned bucket while I clean them . May get some woollies for my cracks big and small    

There's a lot of innuendo in that video!! And those wheels look clean - surely they can't be that clean after 2 months use?!

They look quite useful, could save time if you've got dirty cracks... Won't lambswool disintegrate quickly?!

I'm errr.... errr..... not saying anything    

Haha I think that might be where you're going wrong, sitting on an upturned bucket might help you clean them better   

Russ who detailed my JCW uses them

He let me borrow them for a quick use before MITP

They work removing back rust and dirt EASY!!!!
