You mean in the back behind the spokes? I find my power washer gets most of it off. Really can only see the front part anyway.

I think horsehair is too soft of a material to be used on a drill. It will get destroyed quite easily and not be effective at cleaning.

I bought one of these a while ago and used it the other day. It can fit between the rear caliper and wheel. But it can't fit between the front. And it did take a couple weeks to arrive. But I like it overall better than the wheel woolies I was using previously.

I use Wheel Woolies which appear to be an older version of these:
