Re: wheel brush any good?

try the CD scratch test. get a CD and rub it agaist the brush and see if it scratches. if it scratches the CD it will scratch clear coat.

imo that brush if fine to use on wheels. maybe not chrome, but it does the job.

I have that brush and it is harsh. Also, those type (with the twisted wire holding the bristles) often allow that inner wire part to rub against what you are cleaning as the bristles bend away. For that reason, I don't like it.

thanks! i picked up another brush today at target that was made up of microfiber...it was like a microfiber spone on a stick sort of thing that allowed me to clean the wheels...it feels much safer than the first one i got


i think i'll just save the first brush i got to clean inside the fenders of the car

That looks like it will scratch the wheel's finish... I would try to get Meguiar's gold class wheel brush although it's already discontinued.
