Question Use for Wire Brush ?

I got from Amazon a pack of interior detailing tools.
There's a set of mini wire brushes, the kind one uses on BBQ grills.
What are they for in interior detailing ?

I've only used wire brushes for battery terminals and other random rust-removing activities under the body, not for interior. I wouldn't use them anywhere inside.

i would not be using wire brush anything on any part of the car interior... or exterior.

perhaps you mean plastic bristles? even than that's a bit harsh.

Might want to use the brass brush to remove wheel weight adhesive (inside of wheel barrel of course).
