Question Wheel Brush brand recommendations

Having just spent several hours removing the wheels from my car and detailing them I would like to have a brush that is able to reach the entire depth of the wheel during regular washings. This means the brush needs to be narrow enough to fit between the metal fairing that surrounds the rotors and the inside wall of the wheel itself. After many internet searches I have not found one that looks suitable, durable and effective. Any recommendations? Thanks.

+1 for Daytona! Tried alot of others OTC and they all broke easy, Daytona still going on strong. Don't be cheap tho and get both sizes, they will come in handy.

So you guys think the Daytona Master Jr is small enough to fit between the rotor fairing and the wheel plus reach the entire depth of the wheel? I was considering the 16 inch wire wheel brush.

I use and love these, but I'm not sure whether you can find them (or equivalents) in the US:

Just received the Daytona Master Jr today and put it to the task. It worked well for me albiet I wish it was just about 2 inches longer. Again thanks for the assist.

the jr is too small. The regular version is the one you want. It can still fit in between the rim and caliper
