  • Which brush to use for wheel wells??

    I recently bought the Versa-Angle Tire Brush, thinking that it would be good tool for wheel wells and tires all in one(and maybe engines also). But after recieving it, it feels a little too hard to be using for wheel wells. Maybe I'm thinking it won't flex into all those tight little areas that some wheel wells have.

    What brush are you guys using for wheel wells and engine comartments?

    Ive got a 2" lift on my jeep and when the stock tires are on, I still cannot get that brush to fit. I have one of those cheap sponges that I use.. Seems to do just fine. Would be cool if meguiars made some kind of small brush just for fender wells.

      i use a sponge and some apc or car wash solution to clean the wheel wells with the wheels turned in (makes it easier to clean). also.. wearing latex gloves is a good idea as there is lots of grime, dirt, etc.. in there and gets pretty dirty.

        I have four different types of toilet bowl brushes that so far have been able to remove debris from the wheel wells. Al

          And here I was thinking I was the only one who had a better use for toilet brushes...LOL

          The one I have is narrow, and has a long handle, it' very handy!

              Nope, I've been doing the same thing for a couple of years now. They work great, come in various shapes and sizes, and get the job done beautifully. And they're cheap!!!

                I use a cheapy Walmart "Brake Dust Brush" in the wheel wheels with some soapy warm water. Then I cleaned up the leftovers with an old terry cloth bathroom towel. My wheel wells are about the only part of my car I allow those towels to touch!

                  I currently use a Vera-Angle Wheel Brush and it too is a little stiff for the wheel wells. If I had an extra Versa-Angle Body Brush I would use it, IMO seems it might be the best option.
