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?

accumulator, what are bhb's?

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.

 

[Toymachine2009]

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

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.
