It has become my favorite tire brush for scrubbing away the gunk and build up from old tire gel. It seem to be the perfect size for car tires and low profile tires as well.

yes i would have to agree 100%. its a great brush.
very durable so far as well and i LOVE how you can see the bristles getting dirty and then they wash clean with a stream of water

even my friend used it the other day on his vehicle and told me "man this is a pretty cool brush, where did you get it?"

Mine rinses clean every time when I use OPC to clean the tires. Love it.

It really is a great brush. I picked one up a couple of months ago. I use it more and more on the low profile tires on my 350Z.

This brush has been my go to for tires for awhile now. I was using the contour brush but this brush is easier to handle.

It really does seem to be the perfectly sized brush and bristles stiffness. Been using mine for over a year now and love it.

It is a great brush - it is narrower than most other tire brushes, which is great for me with the lower profile sports car tires. I use OPC and the Tuf Shine tire cleaner concentrate to clean my tires. I use OPC most of the time and the Tuf Shine every month or so to strip the tire completely.

I don`t use the Tuf Shine Tire Clear Coat because I like a little bit shinier than the Tuf Shine can impart. Currently, I use CarPro PERL, but I am always open to trying new ones. I prefer gels and it must have no sling (especially in more aggressive driving.)

I think you `ll enjoy the brush a lot. Make sure to rinse it clean after every tire since the white bristles can be soiled quickly.

Enjoy and happy detailing!

Two things I`ve found with this brush:

1. For me it never rinses 100% clean when I`m done. I like the bristles as white as bad fake Hollywood caps. So, a few minutes in sitting in some mineral spirits restores it to white as new.

2. If you scrub really hard with the brush the bristles start to spread out. If you run it under hot water for a minute you can push them together again and they stay together for a while.

The TufShine tire brush is my favorite tire brush. It has held up for over a year.

If it doesn`t rinse off clean it might be due to your cleaner. I`ve had mine for over a year and still looks brand new.

I have notice the dressing not being fully removed as well. But it is usually from overly greasy tire dressing or really old nasty crud. I to just throw it in a bucket with some APC or even some car wash. After sitting and soaking for awhile it will come clean.

Can`t say mine will. It may come sorta clean, but the only way I`ve found to get it perfectly 100% clean and white is mineral spirits. I`ve tried it. Dunno why it doesn`t work for me.
