Looking for a good wheel cleaning brush....

Johnny Utah

What's the best brush for cleaning alloy wheels?

I'm considering the following:

EZ Detail Brush
(Out of stock from this site and I can't find it anywhere else with reasonable shipping)

Or,

Meguiars Wheel Spoke Brush

And, for the face of the wheel:

Link says Tyre Brush?

The best thing to use is a good wheel acid, it lifts all the tar and brake dust off the rims, should avoid having to scrub them with a brush. A lot of car washes have a bottle there and they'll give the wheels a shot when they're washing the car.

The Meguiar's spoke one is brutal, falls apart really easily.

The EZ Detail brush is very well thought of amongst professional & enthusiast detailers.

I can get one for you with my next order to distributor if you like, probably land the end of next week.

I've used both of them, the megiars ones break where the wire goes into the plastic handle. EZ detail is pretty good if your wheels are not too grubby, the bristles are too soft to remove heavy dirt.

I also have one of these which I find good foe vleaning the heavier dirt off.

You alright Neil??

Those Vikan brushes are decent, I have one here for occasional use. They're a bit stiffer than most but still don't marr the finish. I find they are sometimes a bit short for the fatter rims though.
