Cleaning wheel is pita..

So what does everyone use?

I plan on spending some money to save me some time and labor.

I'm not talking about the cleaners, but the brushes etc.

boars hair is good from what I hear. Also look at excel's magic wand that attaches to a drill... I personally use a meg's brush kit that I got for 10 dollars on sale at walmart...
