17 Inch Tampico Wheel Brush: Reach Deep Between the Spokes and Into the Barrel
The Tampico Wheel Brush gives you 17 inches of reach to clean deep between wheel spokes and inside the wheel barrel, where your hands simply can’t reach without taking the wheel off. It works on classic wire wheels, modern alloy wheels, chrome wheels, factory wheels, and custom rims, so one brush handles the whole wheel on cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Brake dust and road grime pile up on the back of the spokes and deep in the barrel, the spots a short brush or a wash mitt never touches. Most wheel brushes are too short to get there. The Tampico Wheel Brush has the extra length to do it.
How the Tampico Wheel Brush Is Made
The bristles are natural Tampico fiber, twisted into a plastic-coated wire that helps protect the wheel from scratching. The twisted-wire core is flexible and bendable, so you can shape it to fit past the spokes and into tight areas. The tip is rubber-covered, and the thick, durable bristles have the scrubbing power to remove brake dust, road grime, dirt, grease, and road debris.
The Tampico Wheel Brush handle is smooth, sanded hardwood that gives you a comfortable grip, with a hanging hole on the end for easy storage. The Tampico fiber and the wood handle are both natural, eco-friendly materials.
What makes this one worth keeping in the garage:
- 17″ overall length for extended reach into the wheel barrel
- Flexible twisted-wire design that bends to reach tight areas
- Natural Tampico bristles that are thick, durable, and made for scrubbing
- Plastic-coated wire and a rubber-covered tip help protect the wheel finish

How to Use the Tampico Wheel Brush
Work on one wheel at a time while the wheel is cool. Spray your wheel cleaner into the barrel and across the face of the wheel, such as our 3D Wheel Kleen, 3D Grand Blast, 3D Yellow Degreaser, or 3D BDX Iron Remover for iron deposits from brake dust.
Push the Tampico Wheel Brush between the spokes and into the barrel, then scrub in and out in a steady motion so the bristles reach all the way around. Bend the wire to shape it for the tight spots. Rinse the wheel well before the cleaner dries.
Tip: Rinse the Tampico Wheel Brush with clean water after each use and hang it by the handle to dry.
Pair the Tampico Wheel Brush With a Wheel Face Brush and a Tire Brush
We recommend buying the Tampico Wheel Brush as a set with our 
short-handle soft long-bristle brush to clean the wheel face, and a hard short-handle brush for the tires: our 
Small Head Tire Brush.
Tires need a different brush with a good degreaser, such as our 3D Yellow Degreaser, to cut through any buildup of tire dressing. Do not use the same wheel brush if you are dealing with removing a buildup of silicone dressing. It is also good practice to keep designated brushes, so the tire brush doesn’t carry any sand that might scratch the next wheel you clean.
To clean and detail around the lug nuts and today’s brightly painted wheel calipers, use our 
10″ Boar’s Hair Detail Brush. See all of our wheel cleaning supplies.
