Power Wheel Brush

Found this Brush because my wheels are so labor intensive to clean. Thought everyone may want to look in to it.

The brush is long enough to clean the inside of the wheel and the calipers.
The bristles are really soft.

Takes litterally less than 1/2 the time to clean them.

Use a Variable Speed drill.

Really does a great job.

I ordered mine here. http://www.lanescarproducts.com/grip...wer-brush.html

Hmm, I have one of those without the drill attachment part...just a regular brush.

Yeah I have a Meguiar's multi-angle body brush I use for the wheels instead. The bristles are softer and seem more dense, so they cover more ground. I do like the blue brush for getting back in there though.

I use a brush that is actually meant for the car's paint. It seems like most of the brushes made for cleaning wheels are just expensive toilet bowl brushes. The bristles are way to rough. But that one looks pretty good!

hummm... even the boar's hair brush which is fine on older cars is not used on my modern car paint as it hazes the paint barely but detectably...

Yeah, my Meguiar's brush is "meant" for paint also...although I've never used it for that. Just the wheels and wheel wells.

Yeah, I didn't mean I used it on my paint! Just that it is meant for paint.
