The whole wheel takes less than a minute.

Worth the £15 if you guarantee less than a minute! Toothbrush/valet pro brush/washmitt I am using takes me for ever!

The other trick is to get the wheels sealed with a good quality product like Gtechniq C5 or Planet Polish Wheel Seal and you'll find the brake dust just won't stick so they're much easier to clean

This is exactly what I want to do with FK1000P I just need to be able to get them spotless in the first place before I can seal them!

Going to treat myself to some woolies. Seem pricey for what they are but look like they'll save a lot of hassle...

+1 - Got the EZ Detail Brush myself and always worked well on my mesh wheel sets.
