random tip: on vehicle wheel cleaning.

[AuAltima3.5]

I was cleaning the car this morning, and thought, "there has to be a better to clean behind the spokes," as opposed to yanking the wheels off the car everytime.



I didn't like the idea of an actual brush on the rim's inner coating. It seemed too abrasive.



I used a foam brush (1" width, like the ones used for painting) to get behind the spokes and it worked very well. Some cars with wide/mutliple spokes it may not work so hot for, but on my 02 altima (with 6-spoke wheels it was a breeze). I cleaned all four wheels inner part in about ten minutes.

The EZ Detail Brush is just what your vehicle needs to get totally clean right down to the tiniest details.

#uno wrong thing upon inspection: Metal tip. Also, you have to squeeze it between the caliper, instead of having clearance to move it more freely.



And it has bristles. Unless they came from a toothbrush, they aren't touching my car.

It does have a wire inside but it's harder to expose than some brushes.

Also go to a Petco or Petsmart and get a flexible fish tank brush. They are small and work great.

Not that I will ever get that brush, but it says it has a vinyl coated tip..

$3 Power Puff brush. It gets the insides of most of the wheels I encounter. The rest I get with a megs spoke brush or one of the strand style brushes found in many auto sections.

It doesnt have a metal tip. Youll have to squeeze any brush between the caliper unless you want to move the car after cleaning the rest of the wheel, so I dont get what you're saying there. The "bristles" are plenty soft to use on the inside of any wheel.

I use an OXO bottle brush for wheels.......You'd be surprised at what you can find when "not" looking for detailing items....

The EZ Detail Brush is probly one of the best and safest spoke brushes I have used on cleaning the inside of the rims



$23 is a small price to pay when you want to take the very best care of your rims.

Got my EZ Auto Brush from Pakshak and I must say it doesnt' scratch and is very soft. Easily gets between calipers. Great for engine detailing as well. Well worth the $23 IMO.
