ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for cleaning the rim of a wheel. The apparatus comprises a housing journaling a driveshaft, driven by an electric motor and mounting a pair of wire brushes configured to contact the wheel rim. Guides on the housing cause the axis of the drive shaft to be parallel to the wheel axis. In use, the housing pivots to follow the wheel rim while the electric motor remains in the same orientation. A brake mechanism between the housing and electric motor prevents rotation of the housing when the guides are not engaged with the wheel rim.
