Wheel Brushes & Accessories

Just like all cleaning agents wheel cleaners require a little agitation to be most effective. Agitation isn’t about physically scrubbing the surface, using a brush to agitate your wheel cleaner has two main purposes. First it ensures that the cleaning agent reaches every nook, recess and dirt trap where there may be a build-up of grime. And second it moves away any spent solution – or wheel cleaner encapsulating the maximum amount of grime – and replenishes the area with fresh solution to work on any remaining contamination. This is why agitation always makes the most of your wheel cleaners.

Choosing the correct brush always depends on the wheels you have on your car. You best choice comes both down to wheel design and wheel finish. Some wheels are far more intricate than others to clean, these may require smaller brushes to be able to access every nook. Aftermarket wheels often have very different, and more sensitive, finishes to OEM painted or powder coated wheels. In these cases, you may be looking for the gentlest wheel cleaning brush for increase safety.

Even though our wheel brushes are designed to be safe on all wheel types it’s still essential to follow a professional wheel cleaning routine for the safest and most effective wheel wash. Always rinse down your wheels first, this will remove loose grime and large particle debris, allowing your wheel cleaners to get to work where they’re most needed. When brushing in your cleaning agents excessive pressure isn’t needed, agitation isn’t about physical scrubbing. Finally, always clean out your wheel brushes after use and before your store them away for your next detail.

Its flexible shaft and ergonomic handle make it easy to access tight spaces, delivering superior cleaning with peace of mind on even the most high-end wheels.

When dealing with chrome or polished wheels, it’s crucial to select a wheel cleaning brush that’s soft and non-abrasive. We recommend using the Wonder Wool Wheel Brush or our Microfibre Wheel Brush, both of which are specifically designed to clean without scratching.

Avoid stiff or coarse brushes, as these can cause micro-marring on shiny surfaces, reducing their overall appearance and longevity.
