Wheel cleaning with the M-Sport brakes

So, how does everyone clean between the break caliper and the wheel barrel? The gap is very tight, I tried the smallest wheel woolie I have and is still a tight fit. Does anyone have a perfect tool or method that they use to get into this area?

clean all wheels then just move car forward or back a couple feet and the dirty part will be accessible

I use a flat incredibrush for most of the barrel and I keep a speed brush in the bucket to get behind the caliper

19" with the M Sport Brakes. I can't even fit a small wheel woolie between the barrel and the caliper... Its a VERY tight fit.

That is what I've been doing, but its annoying to do and still doesn't help get between the caliper and the barrel.
