I was in Autozone yesterday, saw this peeking from the top shelf, and had to get it even at $25. The clerk said he hadnt sold one in over 2 years. So I took it home, and I noticed how the bristles were quite soft, even better!



Here are some pics of it in action on my brothers 2002 9-5 Aero that hasnt been washed in a month-

30 Sec later- Tada! One clean wheel!:

This tool really is quite impressive. It cuts my wheel cleaning time by 75%, and does an even better job too!



It has no trouble reaching the back of the 7" wide rims, although on the S500`s 10", it got about 3/4 of the way back.



I`d say buy this right now, its awsome!

I have had mine for a while and absolutly love it. its like ONR, after you get it you`re like why did I wait. As far as damage, well I guess it could happen but it`d be your fault and not the brush. nothing on it will marr. Just adjust the drill you use so that its controlable. I think you`d have to hit the rim with the drill and that`d just about have to be deliberate.

i wasnt concerned about the drill as much as harmful particles that get on the wheels. I know for a fact that my charger srt acquires A TON of brake dust after 100 miles (gotta love mopar dust), and if i let it go to long particles from the road start to stick to it. Just a small concern of mine. Seems like a wonderful product though!

The cool thing about that is the brush spinning should sling those particles off with the soap solution where as with a mitt, sponge, or hand brush you are wiping those particles around as you scrub. You are right to be concerned though rims ain`t cheap but this thing is a safe bet from my experience, Just my $.02

Agree w/ you all the way integrity, it is safe for sure, and it does sling, but you learn to use it with minimal sling.
