  • Versa-Angle Wheel Face Brush Review

    My review of the Versa-Angle Wheel Face Brush.



    Packaging & Labeling:

    The packaging and labeling was fine… same as the tire brush. It comes in a partially sealed package, but you can still feel the bristles, and the opening gives you a place to get the package apart.

    Usage Tips/Directions:

    Simple but good usage tips. Mostly directed at the chemical cleaner that you might use with the brush.

    Performance:

    The brush performed extremely well. As with the other “Versa-Angle� brushes, you can reverse the handle, exchange handles, or remove the handle for excellent versatility. With the Tire Brush, I preferred using the palm grip without any handle; with this Wheel face Brush I preferred the short handle in the reversed position. The Wheel Face Brush has chemically softened tips on the bristles to eliminate scratching, while retaining the firmness in the lower portion of the bristles to give the brush some backbone to clean tougher spots. The rubber type protective edge on the palm grip is nice too. It helps protect against marring the wheel. Also, the convex shape of the bristles conform well the shape of most wheels.

    Value:

    Given the performance and price of the bush, it is an excellent value!

    Conclusions:

    Overall, a very nice brush, and a “keeper�. I’m not sure it will completely replace my Boar’s hair wheel brushes, but it is certainly more versatile.

    Pros:
    Well constructed.
    Handy grip and interchangeable handles.
    Correct type bristles for a wheel brush.
    Great price.

    Cons:
    Again, as with the Tire Brush, none that I could find... yet.

    Initial Ratings:

    Same as the Tire Brush… Joe Consumer will probably never need another one.
    Consumer rating = 10

    On some very expensive, exotic wheels, the detailing enthusiast may reach for a Boar’s hair brush for added safety. Other than that… a great brush.
    Detailing Enthusiast rating = 9.5

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Again, I will be doing a long-term evaluation of this product.

    I don't recall which wheels you have on your Mustang, but most likely a 5 spoke version. Do you find that you need both the wheel face and the safety tip spoke wheel brushes are necessary to clean a 5 spoke wheel?

    My experience is that the wheel face brush gets about 95 percent of the wheel, but the saftey tip spoke wheel brush is necessary to get the corners of the spokes where they meet the outer rim. That is more a function of my wheels design than a shortcoming of the brushes.

    I agree with your reviews of the brushes, they are both great. The wheel spoke brush was an especially nice surprise, as I have tired several brushes like that before and was not impressed with them.

      RamAir,

      No Mustang... wish I had one.

      On one of my vehicles I have wide spokes with no slots. On the other vehicle there are narrow slots in the spokes. The brush went through the narrow slots nicely. On both sets of wheels, I was able to get behind the spokes with the Spoke Brush where the Wheel Face brush wouldn't reach. I was also able to clean clear through the wheel past the brake factory rotor shields... Nice!

      It's still not the same as removing the wheels and cleaning/polishing/protecting them. However, it should keep them in better shape until that one can do that.
