The wheel brush that makes a difference?

I swear there are so many brushes out there, I can not decide on what to get. I see even powered ones that you hook into a drill, but how could that really get brake dust on if its caked on. Those are expensive also. So what is a good wheel brush. I have looked at all the online sites, each has its own for sale. I want a nice brush.

All depends on the wheel! Use what works for you, and yes a powerball in nice!

mothers powerball? Does that clean or just you put the polish on it and then you polish the wheels?

The EZ Detail brush is a very nice all around wheel brush. Very durable, soft bristles, and it can flex into different positions. It seems to be holding up better than my Meguiars brush. The handle snapped off of that one for me.

I have tied the zymol and swissvax brushes and I vote for swissvax. I have went through like 6 zymole brushes and they always crack around the white part that attaches to the hair. My swissvax has been going strong since the summer.They both are very gentle but i need longevity also.

Be like me and have 6 brush.

One for lug nut area
One for face on the wheel
One for the sides and back of the spokes
One for the back part of the wheel.

The Laitner Power Brush that TOL sells for use in a drill is very nice. The bristles are very soft and its a huge timesaver.

That looks really nice, its like $35 shipped. Any others like that? I want a place where i can order everything I want from just 1 site. I know that wont happen. Is there a discount code for TOL? Do they sell that brand in stores? Im searching for it cheaper if that is really good to get. It doesnt have a long extension to get really in the wheel's inside. It says dont exceed 450rpm drill speed, how do you know how fast your going?
