EZ Brush
« on: July 26, 2009, 08:02:34 pm »
I bought this recently from my friends at Auto Perfection and I cant recomend this brush enough espec if you have the Pescara alloys with the R32 front brake set up. Previously I used the Megs wheel brush but this had some short comings for me namely the rubber tip of the brush would come after some time and the main body of the brush would depart from the handle which would pee me of somewhat but at the time i hadn't really found anything to beat it.....until now  BEHOLD

It comes in two sizes small Grande!

Gets right to the back and some.
In the wee gap between my R32 calipers, nice soft brisles and worked well with my acid free wheel cleaner from AG, going to try it with some Bilberry soon.

A bit dearer at £17 but well worth it IMO

I use a swissvax style brush for the brakes and the most expensive alloy brush I could buy from halfrauds (back when detailing was new to me).

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Nousey, what was the brush you showed me when I went to pick up the rims?

It was one of those. Got rid of it now and bought the samller version as I found the large one to unwieldy and felt as though I was going to damage the wheel with it!  :surprised:

I must say, i have never found the ultimate behind spokes brush for the wheels. I can still see short comings in the EZ brush, like the shaft snapping when it likes.

But this brush definitely is the closest to the perfect brush! ;)

I currently use the megs wheel brush which is ace.
What bothers me most  though is the internal metal windings that hold the brush spokes together as they look to be rusting.
It doesnt/cant scratch the wheel (plastic 'spokes' prevent it) but I dont like it nonetheless

Is the EZ brush the same construction , or is it plastic throughout?

Its plastic coated throughout.  

Been using mine for nearly 6 months now and its still in perfect condition.  

With other brushes I have tried (Megs, Halfords etc) the bristles started to come out after a using it for a month.

Quick point on EZ brush, the little rubber/plastic tip will come off at some point....so be careful....as this will leave the metal tip of the wound shaft exposed. :smiley:
