SilverlineWheel Cleaning Brush 250mm (250311)

A bit to flexible

Fed up with trying to get wheels clean without getting cloths, sponges etc filthy I decided to give one of these brushes a try. So far so good - wheels are far cleaner than they were and on three different vehicles the brush managed to get into most of the small openings. As the image shows there are actually two brushes - 1 back & 1 blue. My only reservation is that fact that these are not tied together in anyway. I found brushing hard the back one started to bend away a bit. I'll update this if it becomes an issue however I still think it is reasonable value for money.

I bought this brush as my Jag has 20 inch alloys and brake discs to match. The alloys get dirty very quickly and need cleaning through the spokes to get the inside looking reasonable. The brush when used with a fairly strong bucket of car shampoo works pretty well. My only gripes are that it could do with being a bit bigger. The brush isn't long enough and the handle is small. The bristles are stiff enough to move the grime but soft enough not to scratch.Just be careful when using the brush as the forward and backward action can leave you covered in speckles of black water if you get too close.Overall a pretty good and worthwhile purchase.

Nice gripping handle. Maybe a little too thick for in between my spokes but I use it in the big gaps to clean in the back of my wheels. Usually the wire rusts or snaps on these but this has lasted over a year now.

The brush works well and has withstood some vigorous use. The ergonomic handle design is a real plus - makes things much easier when you're trying to get into the little nooks and crannies. It's also easy to clean and dries quickly.My only issue is the width. I've got a 5-way split spoke design on my wheel so have some big gaps between the spokes. The brush works well on the outer edges when the gap is the largest, but unfortunately really struggles in towards the centre as the gaps are smaller. I'm looking for a narrower brush for these areas, but I will keep this for the 'bulk cleaning'.So while I think it's a good, robust product, I wouldn't recommend if you've got a more intricate wheel design.

A good item for getting your wheels clean,also saves your back that little more when bending,says this 78 y/o !!

Brought for son who had his alloys coloured, he says it does the job, not to big or to small, could be a little more flexible but otherwise ok, he recommends it.

Probably far better quality than is typically associated with the brand, several past purchases of tools from which have mostly proved useless after the first or second instance and either returned or binned.The bristles are not very firm but have sufficient stiffness to remove all but the most stubborn road dirt, brake dust, grease and grit that builds up. The handle is thick and shaped for the fingers but is possibly a bit too short, meaning that with some wheel designs, your fingers may be in the forward grime while trying to reach that further back. It does its job sufficiently well to be a keeper.It arrived in a book sleeve, somewhat flattened, but a soaking in hot water sorted it out.
