Product Review: White Knight Power Stick

Product:

White Knight Power Stick




Price & Price per Ounce

Approx $50.00

Manufacturer Claims

The White Knight PowerSticks come in various sizes and are suitable to clean wheels of any size. Regardless of the distance between the calipers, disk brakes and the wheel surface of a vehicle, there is a PowerStick that will clean the inside of any automobile wheel thoroughly. In addition, the PowerStick is easy to use. Simply attach the PowerStick to any standard cordless drill, wet the vehicle wheel, dip the PowerStick in soapy water, insert the PowerStick into the opening of the wheel, engage the drill and allow the friction of the PowerStick’s super soft cloth wash away that nasty brake dust.

The unique cleaning fabric is specially manufactured to also be gentle on the wheel surface yet durable and rigid enough to create an effective “slapping” sensation against the wheel to clean it well. The fabric under no circumstances will ever damage a wheel. The PowerStick’s materials aren’t the only thing making it unique, its fabrication is, as well. The patent pending design encompasses [hand] “threading” the fabric through precisely positioned [hand] drilled holes in the rod. Although the PowerSticks seem to be somewhat simple, they are tedious and time consuming to produce. Each PowerStick is completely handmade in the U.S.A.

To date, the Powerstick is available in 10 different size White Knight PowerSticks. They all work wonderfully, but differ from one another to allow the user to select the appropriate size to clean any wheel thoroughly. They components of the PowerStick that vary in size are the rod length, rod diameter, fabric length and fabric width.


Packaging

The product came shipped in a clear plastic bag with detailed writtern instructions on use.

Application


I used this product with a 14.4 volt cordless drill. The product tested was the Powerstick #301.

Overall Thoughts

I am very pleased with this product. I purchased it from Excel Detail. The product definitely aids in cleaning the back part of your rim and the area between the caliper. One thing that I did like about it is that you don’t have the “spray” that you get when using conventional wheel brushes when pulling it out from the wheel. I can’t tell you how many times I have been sprayed with wheel cleaner when using my Megs Wheel Brush.

The product does seem very durable. I used the product today on a set of M6 wheels that were trashed from the client using the car at the track. The wide spoke wheel was a perfect fit for the Powerstick. I attached the brush to my cordless drill, dipped the brush in the wash soap, inserted in the wheel and turned on the drill. The brush easily cleaned the caked on dust on the inside of the rim. It was also flexible to slide in and out of the spoke area and the wheel.

My main concern is durability. This product is probably the most expensive wheel brush I have ever purchased. Your first reaction is that you paid “$50.00 “ for this??? If the product is durable and if the cleaning strands hold up to continued use then it’s a winner. Continued use will tell. The product does come in many sizes and configurations to fit you wheel cleaning needs.
It is very easy to use and performs as stated and expected

Cons/Complaints

I don't have any complaints to report so far. Durability will be reported as the brush is continually used.
