Rim brush recommendation?

Mrfurious214 · 11-02-2015, 08:22 PM

Looking for a brush that I can get into the tiny areas of my rim to clean. Thanks in advance!

I would suggest the wheel woolies 3 brush kit. You can scoop it up for cheap and with very fast shipping if you have Amazon Prime.

I have the EZ Detail brush as well and I swear by them. I have the small and large one. They are great not only for the wheels but in other areas of the car.

I like them so much, and was complimented on how nice they were by friends, that I'm giving two of them one as a Christmas gift this year.

I am scared to use brush for fear it may scratch the rims, does it not scratch it for sure?

My issue with the EZ Detail brush is the spatter. It just flings the brake dust all over you. They are great for cleaning, and can get in between the wheel and caliper (where almost no other brush can), but just not worth it for me. I switched to wheel woolies, and they're fantastic. I'm probably gonna get the larger angled one to get behind the spokes.

How many times do I have to tell you? STOP washing your car in your Tux! Wear car washing clothes, available at Detailer's Domain at low low prices. Oh, and that Batman Belt from Adam's would be a nice touch.

I have the wheel woolies too, and use them to do the barrels (the long one) and the little places behind the spokes on the rim. But they seem more delicate and awkward for me. With the handle on the brush, I can get a nice grip and rough up my wheels and spokes and let them know who's boss. I could get by with either, it's just all preference.

I switched from woolies to the EZ detail brush and I have been much happier. I can clean my wheels much faster and I dont splatter it all over myself like RocketBoots over there..

No no, the tux is for the M5, and Speedo's when washing the M2. For the M4, it's just a nice suit.

I like to get a nice grip and get rough as much as the next guy, but not on the wheels...

I do dislike splattering all over myself; so messy to clean up. But can't be helped sometimes...

Oh, ok. I thought you were doing something wrong. I was obviously mistaken.

No issues that I have seen. It's a softer brush than the pics lead you to believe.

RocketBoots is correct that you can get some splatter when you pull the brush out of the wheel on a tight gap. But it's a minor annoyance and not that bad.

The wheel woolies are great. To reach behind the dust covers I suggest using the EZ Detail Brush

EZ Detail Brush gets in between the brake calipers

Wheel Woolies

Rotherd31 · 11-21-2015, 08:42 AM

Thinking of getting a set of the wheel woolies. I have one question. Will one of the three sizes get all of the barrel depth between the caliper and the wheel? Thanks.

to clear the rear and front calipers and brake dust covers behind the rotors you will need an EZ Detail Brush

boss2k · 01-04-2016, 01:26 PM

I had hard time cleaning behind the rotors, will the mini EZ brush do the job ? The regular EZ brush looks very big.

Also what tire dressing would you recommend along with the applicator?

Detailers Domain · 01-04-2016, 01:45 PM

the ez detail brush works great with our cars, it is not a bad brush to get between the calipers and not too big at all.
