View Full Version : Meguiar`s Discountinues Brushes, "Hard Parts"
Meguiar`s has discontunued all of their brushes. Who has suggestions for wheel and tire brushes as well as body brushes? I especically liked the "mop" they had for washing the roof of my F250 4X4. :wall

Hmm, no wonder Big Lots was getting them. Yeah, I`ve seen all their brushes at the local BL for great prices.

I take it you`ve never been to Cody. The nearest Big Lots is in Billings, Montana! I did pick up a few detailing kits with brushes at the super WalMart here a few months ago at fire-sale prices.
Any suggestions for substitutes?

So this is for the brushes only? Not the wash mitts, mop heads, applicators, etc? Wow, I don`t know what I`ll do. I`d like to hear some replacements also. Maybe this will push some of the small companies into the brush market.

What?! Why?! Does that mean what I am using now will harm my finish? :mad: :help:

I see that Mothers is coming out with a brush line. Don`t know when it will hit stores though.

Nope, your safe. I`ve never had any marring from Meguiar`s brushes. That`s why I am so surprised that they have been discontinued. It doesn`t sound like it was a quality issue, more of a profit issue.

I really like the Megs brushes. I have a few interior and some tire and wheel brushes.
Anyone use OXO brushes?

A quality boar`s hair brush, available from a number of sources. Yes they`re expensive, but you`re the one who asked. ;)

the only wheel brush that still is available is the versa-angle tire brush, iirc. i`m pretty sure ALL of these have been discontinued as well... wheel face brush, wheel spoke brush, mf quik detail pad, slide lock detail brush, triple duty detail brush, duo-fiber glass towel, chenille wash pad & mitt, wash sponge, and maybe a few others... that`s the reason why big lots has/had them, just like alot of other things, they sell off mostly discontinued item(s)...

Does anyone know exactly why they stopped selling brushes?

I can give you a couple of guesses. Some of them weren`t that good. I don`t really like the ergonomics of the tire brush, I`m afraid to use the body brushes. There were complaints about the spoke brush (tip falling off, splattering). I do really like, however, the wheel face brush.
I also suspect the retail market for brushes is pretty easy to saturate. Most casual car washers either won`t make the investment in brushes, or once they do, are set for life.
