the spokes are easy enough to get my hands in fine, its the disks and calipers that cause the problems, the back ones are fine really i can get my hands in around the calipers and disks its the front ones that are the probiv thought about jacking the car up, but the driveway is stones so not the best surface to work on really

the brush is good enough spray some product in side the wheels and scrub it with the brush comes off easily!
