Default Swissvax Wheel Brush

I've noticed quite a few detailers using this brush, but to me the brush seems really small. Is this brush really worth it, or is overhyped?

for 10 dollars, it's worth a shot, but....

i've come to the realization that detailing has become just like everything else that has communities on the internet...it only takes a few people to start a trend.

i see this with everything, and alot of it is because it's SO easy to just click and order whatever new stuff is available from the main boutique supply websites. instead of just sticking with what works, people like to horde and collect, and they spend thousands when in actuality they had to spend a quarter or even less to really find the apex of their useful product list.

so, rant done, i'll just say that i've found great success with the autogeek boar's hair lug brush and their EZ Detail brush (this thing is f'n AWESOME for cleaning the inner bore whee surfaces, which makes a huge difference during a detail). the rest of the wheel can be handled with my 'dirty part' chenille mitt.

but again, at 10 bucks, if you don't have a small detail brush for your wheels, it's worth a shot.

I have 2 of them. I think it's worth the money, but then again, I detail other vehicles than my own. Its a matter of personal preference, and I prefer them. I believe in quality products. Cheap is nice, but you get what you pay for.

I love it. Especially in the lug nuts and little stuff around the wheels.

I bought one thinking there was a good use for it, but I find myself more and more just reaching for other items in my arsenal.

Thanks for the input everyone. I think i'm going to give the brush a shot, after all it's only 10 dollars so I wont be putting a large dent in my pocket.

I would suggest the interior brush if you are getting the wheel brush. (after all its only $10 more ) I just used mine today works great IMO
