Short Review: New Lug Nut Cleaner

[Eliot Ness]

Does HF still offer this tool?

I'm not sure. I never did stop by HF locally to see if they carried it, but it might be listed on-line. E-Shine still sells 'em and you can pick up a tin or two of Meg's #16 at the same time



eShine Canada: Clean Wheel Nut and Cavity Cleaner



eShine Canada: Meguiar's #16 Professional Paste Wax

i was at harbor freight today and found it...$2.99. i'll try it out soon and report back on how well it works. hopefully the lugs on my ride are not too deep and it fits properly.

UPDATE: I was at Harbor Freight today and they had these on clearance for $1.86. I bought what I think were the last three they had in that store.



If I'm not mistaken there look identical to the new Corvette Wheel Lug Nut Cleaner that Autogeek just came out with. While I haven't used it on a Corvette I still think it's a great little tool and it would be worth what Autogeek is asking if I hadn't already stocked up.

I made a tool that polished bare alloy wheels lug nuts and their hole while still on the car. Took me no time to do a wheel.

Buy 3/4 Copper Cap C6173/4 by Elkhart Products at Hardware and Tools Corp. $0.69





Drill a hole dead center and fasten a bolt as pictured.

All that's left is attach to a Drill, drape an old microfiber towel over it, push cloth in cup.

The draped towel needs to reach the drill chuck (cut to size), you need to tape the towel to the chuck this is what turns the towel.

Add your favorite polish and spin!

ps. if your not mechanically incline maybe not for you.

Huh, I've never had good results with the foam paintbrushes :think: They're either too soft/flimsy or they come apart, or something...they just never worked out for me

Agreed.....



Looks like I will be going to HF tomorrow... Needed some 845IW any how....



Thanks for the post
