DIY Behind the Wheel Spoke Brush

I got tried of my wheels looking bad because of the dirt/dust behind the spokes. I think other poster have the same complaint. First took a plastic handled bottle brush and heated the handle over a gas range burner, bending it to a obtuse angle. It worked pretty good for the first couple of spokes, then it snapped. So I used a vinyl coated metal stem bottle brush, bending it again to an obtuse angle. Behind the spokes are finally clean.

Now I may a better alternative. Went to Target and bought a Wayclean Water Bottle Brush. It has a more flexible plastic handle(no need to bend) and smaller brush head.
