The other "problem" is that the plastic tip that protects the wound-wire end will wear out or tear, especially if you use this brush for cleaning rims on a vehicle and tend to force it between the disc brake caliper and the inner rim barrel surface where there is not much clearance. (Mine seem to get torn on the sharp metal retaining clip on the brake pads in the caliper. My finger tips do, too!) My "fix" was/is to find a soft vinyl-like plastic cap and super glue (I`m with Pats300zx on this: I use the Gorilla Glue brand) it on. I found some at a farm supply store or at a hardware store in fastener section and look for plastic caps. The one`s I found are white and fit over a 5/16" diameter tube or rod. There are usually two (2) in pack so you have a back-up if needed.
Or call EZ Detail Brush at 1-866-631-8488 or email them at
orders@ezdetailbrush.com ask them how much a new OEM plastic protective tip cost to send it to you.
So I am going to hijack this thread (AGAIN, Captain Obvious??) and ask if anyone has the
Go EZ Detail Brush, the one with the rounded (EZ Detail calls it a "dome") full-bristle end that looks like a toilet bowl cleaning brush and what your detail cleaning experiences are with this particular brush. This brush intrigues me as being useful in cleaning wheel wells or engine compartments because it has the full-bristle end, hence my question about its use to fellow Autopians who have it.
I have the mini-sized (EZ Detail calls it "Little") EZ Detail brush and the 2-1/4" diameter brush works well at cleaning exhaust tip insides. I can see that those of you who have older mini EZ detail brushes that look like they have seen their better days could re-purpose this brush just for exhaust tips.
