I use this on everything.

EZ Detail Brush - Mini

EZ Detail Brush mini Just like it's big brother, the EZ Detail Brush mini is made of soft, Nylon Nylex bristles that gently loosen dirt from metal surfaces without scratching or dulling the metal. The bristles have a memory design which allows them to always return to their original shape. T

Wheel Woolies medium & small.
Far and away the best brushes I’ve ever used. Mine get used twice a week every week and still as good as new 2 years on.
Composite handles so won’t scratch your rims either.

I've got both and it really depends on the alloy, but typically still use the EZ for the barrel. Wheel Woolies in between spokes alongside a soft brush.

MrBlonde · Jul 19, 2020

The alloy thats in the photo,want one to reach the inside of the wheel.Ive got ones for the spokes on the front @Amos91

I have this issue with my wheels using a Meguairs wheel brush

Been looking at wheel woollies but I'm a tight Yorkshireman and begrudge paying £30 for a stick with some material on the end😂😂

Cheaper than a refurb when you scratch it with a £5 wire centred brush.
The set of 3 cost me £50 when i got them and i thought it was a bit strong. However i can honestly say they have ben worth every penny and would buy them again in a heartbeat. Mr Porsche would bum me for the tune of £7.5k for a new set of the Spyder alloys on the Cayman R.
A £50 set of brushes is cheap insurance to me and they dont degrade like others do either.

Buy the Meguiars brushes instead from Halfords and use your trade card 😉👍

Apparently on par with wheel woolies

I mean a scratch from a wheel brush wont be that noticeable. They literally have rocks chucked up onto them 24/7

Krarl · Jul 21, 2020

I'm annoyed about chipping of the powdercoat on wheels but a scratch is inevitable. Especially when driven everyday!

I'm going to grab one of those too. Thanks @andy_coops

The older Megs brushes were wire centred and had a small silicone cap on the top.
Often you would pull the brush back from the barrel of the wheel, the disc would pull the cap off and before you've realised it, you have stabbed the sharp wire end into your alloy. Even on a cheap set of wheels, that would piss me off.
You pay your money, you make your choice

I use the mini EZ wheel brush on my Turinis and it’s spot on, only brush I need for the spokes and inner barrels. Then just use a wash mitt for the wheel faces if needed.

But who jabs the front of the wheel brush into the face of the wheel? Just use a wash pad or small detailing brush for the front, then a longer reach for between the spokes. Unless you're going full hulk with the brush I dont think it's an issue 😂

Think you like spending money 👀 Too tight up north.

Not in the front obviously, but you could easily dig the wire into the barrel. Its pretty easily done on the old crap designed brushes.
That posibilty doesnt even exist with a Wheel Woolie.

Who doesnt like spending money? Like many of us when it comes to our cars, just try and buy the best I can.

Perhaps you should check out the "false economy" thread

My rubber cap is still on my Megs brush after 6 years of abuse 😂

The bristles have started to come out in the past month or so though 😂 😂

Martin. · Jul 22, 2020

I use a large EZ brush, have done for years and years, Works a treat to scrub the barrel of the wheel and agitate behind the spokes.

If you send me an existing cap I can design and 3d print centre caps.

The new ones are pretty much identical in design and construction to the Wheel Woolies.
