THREAD THE BARREL.

The Barrel Runner is a soft microfiber wheel-cleaning belt for the spots a wheel brush can't reach. Feed the belt behind the spokes or through an intricate wheel, grab a handle in each hand, and work it back and forth to scrub the barrel, the back of the spokes, and around the calipers. Soft on the finish, tough on brake dust — with an embroidered logo on each handle.

• Soft microfiber belt: Safely scrubs painted, polished, and coated wheel faces and barrels without scratching.
• Back-and-forth cleaning action: Thread it through the wheel and pull handle-to-handle to reach the barrel and the back of the spokes you can't get to otherwise.
• Two-handle control: A grip in each hand gives you leverage and control; logo embroidered on the handles.
• Great around calipers and tight spokes: Wraps into the areas a stiff wheel brush skips.
• Usage note: Rinse the belt frequently while you work so you're not dragging trapped grit across the finish.

How to Use

1. Rinse the wheel first to knock off loose brake dust and grit.
2. Load the wheel up with your wheel cleaner — Cool Guy or Wise Guy.
3. Feed it behind the spokes or through the wheel and grab a handle in each hand.
4. Pull back and forth to scrub the barrel, the backs of the spokes, and around the caliper.
5. Rinse the belt and the wheel thoroughly when you're done.

Detailer Tips

• Do wheels first, before the rest of the wash, so fallout and cleaner don't land on clean paint.
• Rinse the belt often — trapped grit is what causes marring, even on a soft tool.
• Pair it with Cool Guy iron-removing wheel cleaner or Wise Guy wheel & tire cleaner to break down brake dust before you scrub.
