Wheel brush

[Karl]

About time i stopped being a tight arse and bought a real wheel cleaning brush instead of using a old sponge that saw its day about 2 years ago :lol:

Any help will be great

i use a 69p wilko washing up brush, best thing ive ever bought!! brings the wheels up lovely with meguiars wheel cleaner

I use a lambswool finger mitt for wheels (but it's expensive!) and am on the look out for wheel woolies atm (even more expensive, look at them on polished bliss' website to see just how expensive they are). For other peoples wheels I usually use a daytona brush or an ez mini brush. The mini will struggle to get to the backs of wheels wider than 6j though.

For the faces I use envy brushes (5 for £10 or so from envy valeting)

Why do you even have a sponge in the first place...?

Get yourself a mitt of some kind!

Sponges aren't as bad as some people will tell you they are I still use some sponges depending on the clean I'm doing.

I use this brush:

Its good for getting in between the thin gaps in the cup wheels, pretty good quality to, nice and strong.
It is a bit on the small side though hard to get right to the back of the wheels.

It just fits in the small gaps nicely, the only bad thing is it could do with being a little longer, but its decent for 6 quid!

Can you get a pic of it in the smaller gap in the wheels ?

 

[iamstuart]

Yeah, I will tomorrow as its pitch black outside at the min

 

[Karl]

Nice one

I have an AG wheel brush. It's fantastic. At least I think, I've never actually used it.

I was saying what one I have. it is actually good. It's like a soft nylon brush shaped like a pointer so you can get in between the spokes without damaging the paint etc.

 

[Karl]

Picture of it Al ?

not mine but it's the same:

Does it really work ?

Looke like a paint brush a little a very fat one

 

[maggi200]

I've used one before and tbh I didn't like it. the bristles were too harsh for most finishes I found. And it's quite expensive for what it is

It may seem soft but go try a swissvax (or swissvax style) brush and see the difference!

I thought it was fine, but then again I won't be bothered if the wheels aren't gleaming. I bought it from eBay - was about £4 I think so hardly a great loss to me.
