Swissvax wheel brush question

[solekeeper]

hey guys, I`m going to be purchasing this brush.. I need to use it for cleaning in between lugs, and reach into calipers, and I would like to use it for jambs as well..



Anyone who has this, is it tough enough? Or should I just buy a boars head?

I use the boar`s head one for cleaning between the spokes etc. It works like a charm and it is cheaper, too. As for using it on the jambs etc. I would get a second brush as I personally I would be concerned about break dust becoming lodged in the brush and scratching the paint.

any good brushes for jambs?

I recently ordered the swissvax brush intended for cleaning up the emblems and grill during wash. I never saw that boar`s hair one before. Hmmm

IME BHBs rinse *SO* clean that you don`t have to worry about debris getting stuck in them and then scratching paint. Just keep it clean and you oughta be OK.



That said, I prefer different BHBs (rectangular "paint brush" type ones) for use in jambs than I use on wheels (round ones like in the link).



Note that good BHBs (used properly) are so gentle that they don`t really do much of any scrubbing, so you need to use chemicals that`ll do the required work with a minimum of mechanical agitation.

I`ve had my sv wheel brush for 2`ish years and other than a minor split in the red binder, it is still perfect. I love it and believe me when I say that sucker is abused.

thanks jean, thats what I wnated to hear! Thought sv was just charging for the name.. lol I think I`m gonna buy that one along with the boars head. I need a good wash mitt that won`t rip in 2 washes too..

I been debating on getting this Exact same brush. I cant bring myself to pay $20 dollars for a single brush tho especially when it looks like I can pick up something similar at lowes or michaels for 2.99



I really want it but 12.99 + $8.00 shipping = about $21.00 for a brush.. I want it..



the one on autogeek thats $7.99 vs the one $12.99



Are they essentially the same brush?

Nope.

lol, k thanks.. Hey mind if I shoot ya a pm about pakshak`s mf`s? (If you`ve ever ordered from them)

I really like the SV detailing brush. I know it`s expensive, but I haven`t found any other brush that quite works as well. It`s also the perfect size for cleaning lug nuts, etc.

I want that brush but it`s just like damn $20 for a brush... Anyone try that uber spoke brush?

lol, k thanks.. Hey mind if I shoot ya a pm about pakshak`s mf`s? (If you`ve ever ordered from them)



I`m cool with PMs, and FWIW I am a big fan of the guys at PakShak. I use a *LOT* of their MFs and recommend them highly.

I have two SV size brushes from DD. They seem to work fine but noticed a few hairs come out. They have not fallen apart as some claim so that is good. I do not use them on lug nuts --use that plastic T-shaped tool with foam inserts from AG or PAC.
