Pops Racer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wow what a great product. Picked up a set at Carlisle and used them when I got home......First time I have cleaned the wheels that I did not have at least one bloody knuckle on each hand.....Just wish I had bought two sets since I fgure I will prolly wear these out quickly from excessive use/abuse......

DenaliDan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think you might be surprised at how well they hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've put my set thru a lot of excessive use already. Wheels, grilles, around exhausts, engine bays. And all of them are as good as new still. I also hose them out really well after every use along with my brushes. Make sure you also post a review up on the store site as well on your experience with them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith2013 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I bought a set of these a couple weeks ago. When I pulled them out of the package, I said there is no way these will do anything. I can't tell you how wrong I was. They worked like magic cleaning the insides of my rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I still prefer the TurboStick for the heavy cleaning, but I do use the large head for my wheel wells. Can't exactly get fender brush in my world. The middle woolie is a sneaky little gem, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@InsanePaint Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I use these mostly for engine bay detailing with WW. It allows me to get into tight ares & clean those hose bends you can't get your hands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRZN Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Nothing better than a Wheel Woolie to reach inner fender wells where the Fender Brush just can't get to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Quick question: I have an EZ-brush (mini) to do my wheels and it does a really good job. The only problem is the "backsplash" of grime/dirt as you pull it out of the wheel. Is this the case with the wheel woolies too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope wont have any backsplash, I have tried the wheel woolies but IMO I prefer the daytona brush still hands down, its way faster and I think does a better job.

I don't own the wheel woolies, yet, but from what I read its minimul to no backsplash, as compared to the e-z detail brush. Also, you have to consider that you get multiple sizes with the woolies so areas on a wheel or engine bay or fender well that usually cause backsplash with a bigger brush, might be better served with the smaller woolie, just with a little more work involved. I guess the limitation with that might be a bit of reach given the lengths are slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not brought back from the dead, but it is starting to turn color and smell a little... I had the chance to use these on an Infiniti G35 over the weekend. I tried a 'better' version of the bristle brush on the wheel spokes and got spattered with grime while removing the brush from the wheel. Swapped that out for the large and medium Wollies and they cleaned it up great. And the best part NO SPLATTER! . Had to go the small Woolie for the tight caliper clearance on the front wheel.

Chris@Adams Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Sounds good, we sold a bunch of them at Corvette Carlisle. And we also used them on a bunch of Vette's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm still using the same set that I got for testing... and I've used the snot out of them. No signs of wearing out or needing to be replaced. Just keep them clean after every use and they'll serve you for a long long long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Turbostick for cleaning, and these guys for maintenance for me. I never let my wheels get beyond using Car Shampoo and Water for cleaning. Sometimes Waterless. Third bucket for me = Brush Bucket. Gonna have to change that up once the new wheels come.

Rich Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I know mine are used every wash and I'm real happy with them. Nice long handle which is what I really needed. They hold up real well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyfox Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I can't wait to try out mine. Especially with the engine bay on my Z and the ridiculously narrow space between the rim and calipers on my Tundra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scociny Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 So with what Mook said in mind, my question is: wheel woolies or the turbostick? I guess in a perfect world...you get both. But if you could only choose one...which one? I understand that both can be used for cleaning areas other than wheels...with that in mind...which one?

JBlack151 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I still use both the turbo stick and the wheel woolies on a lot of vehicles, however I've been leaning toward the woolies a lot more lately to clean some serious grime off wheels.

I agree with mc2hill, if I had to only have one or the other, it would be the woolies. Much more versatile and as a result they get used in almost every wash. I only end up using the turbo stick 2 or three times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use both, depending on which car I'm cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tim said, it depends on the wheels. But power tools are way more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
