Recomend me a wheel cleaning brush etc

[stevie steve]

I have standard leon cupra alloys. You know the twin split 5 spoke type.

I have tried numerous brushed but they all seem crap. The megulars thats about 12 inch long is great except when you slide it back out of the wheel - it flicks it all back over you.

I tried the flash wash mitt syle one and that fell apart.

Anything out there thats any good???

Ez detailing brush all the real pros use them available from motorgeek

The best brush I've found is from RACEGLAZE, I'd been using the megs one for a few years & also experienced the splatter they casue on pullback, this fella is great, well worth the £££.

It also gets right in the back of the rim as it hasnt got that big flange like the megs has either....

i use an old toothbrush, mainly as its old and the bristles will be soft to not scratch but clean.

The EZ detail brush is good - i've got 3 in my van, but they snap pretty easily - maybe more easily because i use mines around an hour a day.

£17 from Ron @ Motorgeek

Hi

it looks a bit thick to get in between brake disc / capiler dose not look long to reach the face of the wheel.

i will try one out

I bought a wheel brush from tesco. £3 I think, does the job and wont matter if it breaks (although it hasnt) as its cheap enough to replace.

The only way your going to get the wheels truly clean is to take them off and use a bit of old fashioned elbow grease. I use a knackered old spung and every now and then go to town on them off the car.

vikan long reach wheel brush www.i4detailing.co.uk best brush for inners ez detail brushes can break easily highly rated!

 

[andrew1979]

I have tried most brushes but most i have tried you cant reach the other side of spokes! or get into the caliper / brake disc. But the sizes from valetkleen powerstick you can do all that and clean other sides of spokes as it spins with soft fabric with no flick backs or scratch. www.rimwax-valetkleen.co.uk or if you want any smart wax then they sell that too or go to www.valetkleen-waterless.co.uk they are highly in demand and they are also waterless valeters. I am also waiting for a new wheel face cleaning power brush of them i will let you know how good that is.

The valetkleen powerstick was designed so you dont have to take off the wheel.
