  • Meguiar's wheel brush.

    Just bought a Meguiar's wheel brush which looked and felt great "very good quality" yer right. It didn't last the 1st wash before the head broke off. I have an old cheap brush which has lasted years and had to go back to using this. There is an inherent weakness in this designed brush and I would like to hear if others have experienced this so the company can fix it. The brush was very expensive and the seller will not replace or credit as I don't have the receipt. Be very careful when buying this particular product.

    I have one called a versa-brush. Bought it on sale. Love it. Use it for rims only, have different brush for tires.

    Is your's a versa-brush?

      Hasn't it been discontinued for years? Sound like New Zealand has some old, old, old stock.

      That said, I bought three versa brushes when they first came out and am still using the first one.

          Maybe yours had a crack in the plastic when you bought it. I've had mine for 4-5 years and it's still in good shape.

            Telling us which brush you have would help. The versa angle tire brush is designed to have the head be removed from the handle. Which brush do you have? Is it this one?

              The wheel brush and the tire brush are both designed so that the head can be removed from the handle. Check out this video:

                Isn't that what I said? I'm confused, Shane.

                  Or the plastic tip of the spoke brush?

                    Yes, I was just noting that the wheel brush was designed the same way as the tire brush (since the OP said wheel brush and you said tire brush).

                          Yeah I know, when I read the title I got all excited thinking there was a new brush out.
