Has anyone got one of these?

The flash sheepskin wheel brush I have has seen better days. It doesn't reach into the rims very well either.

So is the EZ worth it's 20 quid? I don't mind is it's going to be the last wheel brush I have to buy and it saves me removing my wheels on a regular basis.

I have the EZ wheel brush mini. But i no longer use. doesnt really fit with the cupras alloys, and the brake calipers get in the way. Also the metal inside is far too flexible. I use it for rodding the diesel **** out of the exhaust now :rofl:

This was cheaper, its better made, the bristles are softer and it is far easier to use.

I have had 3/4 of them and they all snap the handles off but I keep going back to them.

Would that brush fit through the spokes and clean the inside of the rims though?

The handles snapping sounds rather poor considering the price of them. But then I guess yours will see intensive use due to your business?

Do they reach right into the insides of the rims ok?

The good thing about them is they dont flick the ****** back at you when you pull them out of the wheel.

Ive got the Monza Car Care set which is £6 or £7 and its brilliant for what i need it for

Just found it didnt work with my wheels, couldt clean the bit that indents with the nuts. and the calipers got in the way. Made cleaning the wheels a long job as you had to move it half way through.

They do get used more than most but I am always very careful with them.
Vikan do similar ones but you do usually get splattered to hell with them.

Will using a brush on the wheels strip off any sealant thaty was applied to make them easier to clean in the first place?

I have the Meg's brush, similar style to the EZ, which is useful for cleaning the inside of the wheel, but it's hopeless on the spokes and face.

I used to have one of the Flash sheepskin things, but the 'sheepskin' came off the handle. Now I tend to shove my finger down that to clean in and around the spokes.

I think I'd like a fluffy glove (not a mitt, I'd like 5 fingers) for doing the detail in and around the spokes. With that I could get in and do all the details without scubbing off the poorboys! I can't seem to find any though.

I have the same Flash sheepskin brush, like yours my handle has come away from the brush.

For cleaning the wheel face I just use a microfiber sponge and a small round brush for the nut inserts.

I suppose using a brush could wear away a wax coating with aggressive use.

I've got a brush like that but a bit tougher looking, got it from Wilkinson's for £2-£3

Sorry i'll :getcoat: and bugger off now :rofl:

Seriously though I find a decnet sponge and a tdious clean by hand works when I can be bothered to clean my alloys propery but they ain't in the greatest condition to be fair.

I did get one of the EZ brushes at the back end of the year and I've used it about 3 times now. It's ideal for reaching right into the very inside of the rims.

Cleans well and doesn't feel to harsh. Very pleased with it up to now.

Its a good brush, but doesnt suit my wheels. Very soft bristles.

Makes a good exhaust rodder though :lol:
