Brushes for tires and wheels

[OIF Vet]

I'm sitting here watching it snow and war gaming for my first detail of the season. I was watching the video of how to clean tires and wheels and noticed that I don't have any brushes. What ones do you guys recommend and where can I get them. I looked on the web site and didn't notice any. So, if you guys can point me in the right direction that would be great.

I have both of those brushes and highly recommend them. I think Adam will be adding some options to the site real soon :thumbsup::thumbsup:

What would be good to use for the wheel wells?

Hi Rob-

 

Coming soon, our Ultra-Premium 'Boulder Blonde" Boar's Hair Brushes:

 

Boulder Blonde are the Softest Boar's Hair bristles in existence, and highest quality brushes made.

 

As for the wheel Wells, no need to spoil a Boar's Hair Brush. Look out for a premium long-handle wheel-well brush, coming soon as well.

Adam,

 

How soon is soon, before April? If so, I will go ahead and wait for them. Thanks.

If they're not too nasty and you're just cleaning them up a bit, the boars hair brush will be fine (and is great for engine detailing too!). If there's some serious funk in them,

We'll have them this month Rob, and I can't wait!

Any chance Norm will have some available for the clinic on 3/14 ?

[OIF Vet]

Good point Bill. That would be great if Norm had those up in NH.

 

Adam - Any hint on what the prices will be?

 

Frank - I checked out the SwissVax Wheel brush and the shipping will be almost as much as the brush. I'll be waiting for that one I guess.

The Blonde brushes won't be cheap Rob, about $28 - $39/ each. They will be deluxe, however!

 

Getting them there may be a stretch, as it's going to take two weeks to have them made!

 

How about: I'll try my darndest!

[OIF Vet]

I'll pay the $28 - $39 for a good brush anyday. I rather pay alittle more and get a good product then pay alittle and get something bad. I guess I'll have to put those on my April's order. Thanks for the information.

Plus, ours will be made in the USA!

Adam, Acepowersticks also?

Adam, Acepowersticks also?

 

You bet Bob! Tested them yesterday!

[OIF Vet]

Acepowersticks? I have to ask, what are they and what are they for?

I like the idea of the powersticks, but there just isn't enough fabric on the stick to make me want to use it. Kinda like making a sweater with only half the yarn.

Rich, I'm going to make you a believer. I wasn't a fan initially, and there is not much profit involved in selling these.

 

After using it on my vehicle yesterday, with our Green Wheel Cleaner, I was impressed. It really works well, and I don't see how damage could be caused!

 

Stay tuned, and I look forward to your thoughts after trying it out.

Thanks Adam. I will be placing my order for one. Looking forward to trying this on the Saab wheels.

I wonder if someone with some camera skills could snap a pic of the powerstick while its rotating? That image would help ease my fears that there isnt enough fabric on those things...anyway, just a thought.

The powerstick comes in different sizes...some are...fluffier(?) than others.

Ask and you shall receive my friend:

 

I'd say the material is similar to those fake chamois you buy at the county fair, like the Sham Wow. It would be unlikely to do any damage, but really, it's not meant for cleaning the front of the rims.

 

Use a Boulder Blonde Boar's Hair Brush for that!

[estecoca]

Looks good Adam! I'm more than likely going to order whatever brush(es) you add to your line. Im sick of my cheapo brushes...
