I got both from amazon. They work so well.

I did this with a drill attachment scrubber. You can use any drill, like a plug in one with no batteries and plenty of power. Works great... I can run through a line of grout in seconds.

Use it with cleaners, but I just used water at some points works amazing.
Good brushes. Try both of these. First one to get inside, 2nd to get the surface.

I've had the California Car Duster for at least 15 years. It's especially useful at spring time because of pollen. I fully endorse.

I just started using one of these this week and it has been a game changer for me and quickly getting ink off of my hands when used with regular foaming hand soap.
Get a set of wheel woolies. I have these. They are like $35 and worth every penny. Amazon shows them more expensive now, so keep an eye out for the price to drop. Or look for other brands. They last a long time if you care for them.
Don't hose them, you'll soak the foam and it will take forever to dry, and you won't be able to suck out any of the filth that will soak into the foam.
I just cleaned my 19 year old Toyota Tundra fabric interior - fabric seats and carpets. I bought a brush and fabric cleaner from amazon. I liberally sprayed a section of fabric with the fabric cleaner diluted according to directions, then used the brush attached to a drill to loosen the dirt. Then, while still wet, I used a rug cleaner attachment and went over the same section with a cleaner and the rug soap that came with it (I used a Bissell Pet Pro Carpet cleaner we bought for the dogs).
I think your plan will work, but just don't soak them too much.
I had the same issue. I bought this set: Wheel Woolies. 3 sizes, strong plastic handles with no exposed metal anywhere that might scratch. They will shed a little during the first few uses. Appear to be holding up just fine after the initial shed. I also have a smaller detail brush set. One I use for wheels (and front grill) and the other 2 are dedicated to the interior. This is an inexpensive set that has even more options: Detail Brush Set.
I have used Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner. Its a pack that comes with both products, and you can find it on Amazon for around $18. Since my seats had some grime and black stuff embedded into the leather, I bought a small, gentle brush that I use to agitate the leather with the cleaner before applying the conditioner.
Not my video but I have the same exact thing. It’s a brush from chemical guys and I’m sure there’s other similar ones that are different brands.

It attaches to a drill the same way a screwdriver bit does. There’s a hex sticking out of it that the drill clamps on to.
The California Duster is your friend during this time of year.
I know people swear by the pet slicker brushes, but I prefer these on amazon! They do a better job of fluffing out fur and catching any dust bunnies that might get trapped in your bears fur!
Okay I know everyone swears by the pet slicker brushes, but I've found these detailing brushes work better! If you get them be careful, the steel one is really pokey. Brush through small sections at a time and it should help release the mat
Here's a link to the brushes!

Thanks for the info, I'll be ordering some conditioner and a brush ASAP. Thank you for the recommendation. One more question, should I just use a generic boot care brush like this?: https://www.amazon.com/Colourlock-interiors-Alcantara-Furniture-Upholstery/dp/B00J7XSOLS/ref=sr\_1\_6?keywords=boot+brushes&qid=1659113014&sr=8-6
For cleaning between spokes and getting the barrel of the rim I really like the ez detail brush.

I dust my car every 1-2 days with something like this. It really helps keep the car clean between washes. The long-ish handle helps reach the middle section of the roof. The trunk area by the license plate is also a place that gets dusty each day and a quick wipe helps keep things looking clean.

I bet a drill with a carpet brush and with some APC would do some good work on the seats.
Make sure to follow-up with reconditioning them after. You can put a coating on all of it too.
Did you power wash or just use a regular hose?
OK mister micro scratches, not everyone is obsessive over their car if you want to keep your car to show standard then wash your car in angels tears but the average Joe or anyone who isn't that bothered won't notice, professional car detailers and people at open air car meets /shows use them.
But we will go off your opinion and ignore thousands of independent reviews on amazon and other sites.
I've tried pH neutral snow foams and microfiber cloths but once your car is over 3 years it says more about insecurities than necessity
Personally I hate printing with PETG just because of the glue stick, it makes my other prints with PLA worse, so rather than manually scraping it off with the putty knife, I got a set of these brushes, two are metal, and one is nylon, and I use the metal ones to brush away the glue stick into dust, and them the nylon to sweep it all off. It actually makes my other prints stick better, it's weird.
I got mine at Microcenter, but these were the closest I could find on Amazon.
I don’t see the brush on Amazon, but this one is recommended by Matt over at Obsessed Garage. Colourlock Leather & Textile Cleaning Brush for car interiors, Alcantara car Seats and Leather Furniture Upholstery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7XSOLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o5XqEbMHGK8N9
I believe these are the exact ones I am using. I bought them off amazon a while ago. Whoolies
Based on what you said about your wheels though I'd still recommend the EZ Detail Brush. If they're tight spokes, you probably won't even be able to utilize the large one. The other two are significantly smaller than the large one.
The only downside to the EZ detail is the spray back from the nylon bristles. As you pull it out of the spokes, it tends to spray back a lot of the chemical from the bristles wicking around.

I’ve had these for 3+ years and they work wonderfully on all of our rims (3 styles of 5-spokes). Worth every penny.
Like other mentioned, get the wheel woolies to keep the barrels clean.
​
Unless the car is just going to sit in your garage and polished with a diaper then I wouldn't spend a bunch of money/time on it. Get one of the popular brake dust cleaners(like Sonax), do a good clean, maybe throw a cheap coat of wax on the inside barrel with whatever you have laying around, keep them clean with the woolies and then just go enjoy the car.
The best thing I've noticed for steering wheels is to get a proper brush. That will allow you to get a nice lather on the wheel - really penetrating into the stitching etc. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Boar-Hair-Detail-Brush/dp/B01CWBDBFU Use a leather/interior cleaner with it - some will say APC is the same - I do not agree.
The next thing you'll want to do is either condition it - or coat it - I'm infatuated with leather coat at the moment - and Gyeon makes an awesome one - https://www.amazon.com/Gyeon-Leather-Coat-120-ml/dp/B01CESR4WW/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1531243457&sr=1-3&keywords=gyeon+leather+coat It's pretty cheap too.
The biggest thing with interiors is keeping them clean - I think a lot of this has to do with changing habits - making sure you're clean - hands etc.
this guy? Should be fine. I have the Adam's Wheel brush which looks like the same thing basically. They're very soft so they shouldn't harm the the surface of most wheels. I have minor swirling on my painted wheels, but I plan on getting them powder coated anyways as the paint from the factory is not ideal and they're already chipping at 16,000 miles. Powder coat will be more durable and I'll continue using my wheel brush.
These are the ones recommended by the wiki, which I haven't used yet, but are highly recommended. These are the boar's hair version of the ones I use; they feel about the same softeness as the synthetic, but tend to shed a bit more. Not a huge difference though.
Here's an alternative to the CG easy reach:
The only prob I have with this brush (I have it) is that when you pull it out of deep in the barrel, it likes to shoot a bit of spray back at you bc the bristles are stiff.
I like woolies better, but this is great too.
