I have the usual armoury of wheel cleaning brushes, but none of them will get into the narrow gaps between the spokes of the Montani alloys on my Blue GT. I have searched the web for a suitable narrow brush or pad without success. Has anyone with the same wheels come up with a solution? It takes forever fiddling about with a microfibre cloth.
TIA

Re: Cleaning Montani alloys
Fold the microfibre over a plastic ruler.
Otherwise a small, long-bristled paint brush.
Baby bottle brushes should work too. Or microfibre Venetian blind cleaner. They're sort off like 3 thin fingers with microfibre covers on them. Break them apart and you have 3 to use. Should be on Amazon for fairly cheap.

Re: Cleaning Montani alloys
I have wondered how owners clean between the many spokes on Montani alloys. They look good but I imagine they’re a real pig to clean. I like to clean the back of the spokes and the wheel barrels on my wheels when I wash the car. I don’t think that would be possible with the Montani alloys without taking the wheels off the car.

Can't be as bad as the 15" BBS rims that were on my old 1989 Audi 200.
That's the whole day gone cleaning those.

Re: Cleaning Montani alloys
Thanks for the ideas 2226.
These alloys look smart, but as SRGTD said they are a pig to clean. Must be the worst I've ever had in this respect.
