Expert Notes

This Chemical Resistant Wheel Cleaning Brush is built for the type of cleaning work that quickly destroys cheaper detailing brushes. Wheel cleaners, APCs, degreasers and fallout removers can be harsh on standard bristles and handles, so chemical resistance matters when a brush is used regularly. The stiff blue synthetic fibres provide the agitation needed to lift brake dust, road grime and traffic film from wheel faces, spokes, wheel nut recesses and tyre sidewalls, while the plastic handle gives good control when working around intricate wheel designs. It is best used as part of a dedicated wheel cleaning setup alongside a barrel brush and separate tyre brush. Always match the brush pressure to the wheel finish, especially on gloss black, diamond cut, freshly refurbished or ceramic coated wheels.

Wheel cleaning

  1. Rinse the wheel thoroughly to remove loose grit and dirt.
  2. Apply your chosen wheel cleaner to the wheel surface.
  3. Allow the cleaner to begin breaking down contamination.
  4. Agitate around the wheel face using the brush.
  5. Work carefully around spokes, wheel nuts and tight areas.
  6. Use light pressure on delicate or gloss finishes.
  7. Allow the cleaner to continue working if required.
  8. Rinse the wheel thoroughly with clean water or a pressure washer.
  9. Repeat the process on heavily contaminated areas if needed.

Brush aftercare

  1. Rinse the brush thoroughly after every use.
  2. Remove trapped grit, brake dust and chemical residue from the bristles.
  3. Shake out excess water.
  4. Allow the brush to dry naturally in a ventilated area.
  5. Store the brush away from clean paintwork brushes and microfibres.

Top Tip: Use this brush only for wheels, tyres and dirty exterior areas. Keep it separate from paintwork tools to avoid transferring brake dust and grit onto delicate bodywork
