Need some forum help - what's the best wheel cleaning brush you've come across and why?
Seems as though every wheel cleaning brush is sub optimal in a major way.
Two examples:
1) Griots Garage wheel brush
Pros: Good handle for grip, straight design of the bristle shaft, good reach and coverage from the bristles.
Cons: Literally has sharp, twisted metal at the tip of the brush - I had to put a rubber stopper on it to keep using it; bristles are pretty stiff and aggressive.
2) Chemical Guys wheel brush
Pros: Nice, fluffy brush portion, no risk of damage from the bristles, pretty good coverage
Cons: Handle is slim and hard plastic so it is hard to grip, especially with soap on it; the shaft is bent which literally makes it almost impossible to get the brush to the back of the wheel barrel without smacking into the front of the rim with the hard plastic shaft.
I mean really, who designs these things???
Very simple in my opinion. Provide a soft, wide grip for the handle with a straight shaft housing microfiber or similar bristles, long enough to reach the back of the wheel barrel and with no hard parts anywhere to hit the finish. Is that really too much to ask??
