Bargain Alert - Alloy wheel brush

Halfords alloy wheel cleaning brush

Not the last word is quality, and don't expect it to last too long, but fine with careful use.

Was €6.49, now €3. Also running their 3 for 2, so you get 3 brushes for €6.

The problem with that brush is that it is metal in the middle and the bristles are very short. I wouldn't use it as it would scratch the wheels.

Wouldn't put that thing near my wheels ha there way to harsh for the paint
Only thing that's good for is cleaning metal in work ha
I have cool goat hair brushes for doing my wheels or get the wheel woolies off detailing shed

The wheel woolies are steep enough. Although when I refurb my wheels I'll probably buy them.

Where are you getting them done? I've used wheel wizards in the past but I'm tempted to do these myself. I have BBS RXII'S and they're a split so I'm thinking split and paint myself with all new bolts

I'd just about use that brush for doing the pots and pans - as pointed out, the metal spine in that will scratch the wheels, even if you are extremely careful.
