ab350z Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Folks, what brush does everyone use for cleaning the alloys? My Rays are beginning to look seriously haggered and don't want to use something thats too harsh. Bought one from Halfords and it broke on first use!

GIXXERUK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i relegate my old wash mitts to wheel duty, works well and doesnt scratch the halfords brushes are well known for falling to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 After trying the Halford rubbish now got this one : http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/detail-brush-p-324.html ......saw a post by a detailer on this forum - I'm really pleased with it - strong but flexible and does the inside of the wheels a treat. But I still use an old mitt like GIXXERUK as well to get round the back of the spokes and nooks and crannies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 If you go into a Mountain Bike shop or look online, Muc-off do a set that includes brushes, wheel cleaner (yes it is safe on alloys and chrome) all boxed up in a wash tub perfect for cleaning wheels!! Brushes are great for getting in to the small spaces and removing brake dust.... Just found it http://www.muc-off.com/webpage/bike_car ... t_kit.html and realised they do one for cars now!! http://www.muc-off.com/auto/products/ultimate_kit.html They look like they got some nice products, anyone try the silica wheel protect or the silicon shine? Used to use them all the time for MTB and they all do what they say on the tin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I use old wash mitts and a Meguiars wheel brush to do the depth of the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I use the EZ Detail Brush or a Megs Microfibre Mitt depending on how dirty they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I use microfibre mitt, polished bliss wheel back brush, meguiars wheel brush and little paint brush things! Wish I still had the rays on! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkie34 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 As above Billberry is a very good non acidic wheel cleaner. EZ Detail brush,you wont buy a better brush for cleaning the inner rims of your wheels. I also you the Megs Wheel face brush which is quite soft. You may also consider sealing them with a wheel sealant or something like Jetseal 109. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I also you the Megs Wheel face brush which is quite soft. Oh yeah...... I have one of them too! It's quite an event cleaning my wheels! 4 brushes and a wash mitt........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I can imagine they are Stew,but at least you have dark rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I can imagine they are Stew,but at least you have dark rims Absolutely. Although they are cast finis so not that easy to clean...... Even with loads of poorboys on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
