A nifty tire cleaning brush...

[RGP]

This one is made by Oxo. I found a nearly identical one at our Publix grocery store. Seems to me I paid c. $5. Mine is made by Scotch-Bright.

It has a rubber lid that removes via a snap fit so you can fill the reservoir with soap. Pushing on the soft rubber lid dispenses a drop or two of soap with each push.

Since I heavily wax my wheels, I'll fill it with car wash. The bristles are very stiff and the head is large enough to do the tire, but not so large as to inadvertently scratch the wheel.

I originally bought it for the car, but since my tires were clean, I filled it with Palmolive liquid and tried it on a few dishes. I haven't tried changing over to the car wash, but if it does half the job on tires as it does on dishes, I think it's a winner. Conversely, if you think it ***** for tires, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it as a handy kitchen item. No, it's not for high volume professional guys, but I just thought it was very clever and well made. You'll have to judge for yourself...

Re: A nifty tire cleaning brush...

The problem I see with that for use on tires is this:

When cleaning dishes the soap dispenser is pointed down. Gravity will help the soap leave the reservoir.

When cleaning tires the angle of the brush will be such that the soap won't flow out. You'll have to stop scrubbing, point the bristles down, get the soap flowing, then re-address the tires with the brush. It can be done, just a little inconvenient.
