Yes I have F55 and fits in between the wheel and the caliper up front. If you can't find one, I've seen several lint brushes for a clothes dryer that would probably work. The bristles are shorter and stiffer but they are also about half the size of the brush I use so I'm sure it would work also.



*Update* - Took a couple of pics of the brush I was talking about. It's $4.99 at Auto Zone. The bristles bend/flex very easy so even though it looks like it wouldn't fit b/t the caliper and the wheel, it does.



I bought another brush with shorter, stiffer bristles that I can bend to get behind each spoke but I didn't take a picture of it. Sorry.







 
The Swissvax wheel brush is actually pretty soft, especially when it is wet with soapy solution. I would think it has some sort of animal hair or something and not nylon, it sure as hell smells like a wet animal after you use it. :nervous:



For the inner rims, right now I'm just using an old sheepskin mitt, obviously it doesn't get into the really tight inner rims, but I just move the car a little to clean it all during the wash.
