Mothers Car Wash Brush, Wheel and Fender Brush, Short Handle Tire Cleaner for Car Detailing, 10 Inch, Red/Black

5 stars all the way! The Mothers Wheel and Fender Brush absolutely impressed me. The bristles are soft enough to avoid scratching, yet firm enough to really lift off dirt and grime — and it made quick work of the rims on my Jeep Rubicon. It’s clear this brush is built to last; the short handle is sturdy, provides great control, and feels solid in the hand even when wet or soapy. What really stood out is how effective and gentle it is all at once — you don’t need to scrub hard to get results. You can really tell this was designed by a brand that understands car care. I’ve come to trust Mothers products over the years, and this brush is just another reason why. If you care about detailing and want a reliable, high-quality tool, this one won’t let you down.

The bristles on this brush are soft enough not to scratch your wheels and therefore they require a little effort on your part to clean the wheels. This is especially true if your wheels are dirty and have a ton of brake dust on them. I wash my car weekly but sometimes neglect the wheels for a week or two, but they get done monthly at the very least. If you don't clean them that often, you may have issues with this brush not being stiff enough to clean, but I don't think that's what this product was intended for. This brush takes in and holds a lot of cleaner. When I rinse it out after use, it takes a few seconds to get all the cleaner out of it. It is important you do that each use as the cleaner will attract dirt of its own. After rinsing, shake like you're throwing it on the ground but keep a hold of it! Do that 3 times and you'll get all the water out. Store with your car cleaning stuff and it will last a while. I've had mine for 3 years with at least twice monthly use and it still works as well now as it did new. EDIT: Here we are a year and a half after I wrote this review and I'm STILL using this same brush and it still works fine. So we're coming up on five years of fairly heavy use. I plan to get the same brush with the longer handle. I do with the bristles were a little stiffer and I also use the longer wheel magic brush to get inside the wheel barrel but I still like and use this brush just about every time I wash the cars. I just hope the quality hasn't changed in the last few years.

Solid tool. Well thought out. Balances well in the hand. The exploded tip bristles provide excellent coverage of the area being washed. Rinses clean.

This is a very well contracted brush. It feels solid and well made. The rubber bumper on the head of the brush protects well from pumping into painted portion of the car. The bristles are very voluminous yet not stiff. This brush is fuller and bigger than I imagined from the stock photo. I am attaching several photos next to the wheel of my car and a ruler so you can see it in context. I could not wait until the first reasonably warm day arrived so I can test it on my car. Finally, yesterday such day arrived. I have to say it did not work quite as well as I expected. On the positive side 1) It was really much faster cleaning than the old small wheel brush I had 2) It allowed me not to bend as much, which is the main I reason I bought it after having back surgery 6 months ago I still have limitations on my motion. 3) It did not lose any bristles during the washing On the negative side 1) The brush's head is very large, so even in my car with a very large wheel detail I managed to get the brush stuck a few times. The good news is that the rubber edge around the head did protect the wheel but I had hard time getting it out. 2) It did not remove all of the winter grime, some tougher spots will require more elbow grease when my back is feeling better. I washed it twice with the soapy solution, and once with the brush that just had plain water before rising off with a hose. I am attaching several photos showing the brush next to the car and the ruler so you can see its size. I also have close-ups of the dirty wheel and the wheel after cleaning. The brush did a decent job even if it was not a perfect job.

I have used it one time to clean my wheels. I like that its soft and works better than my wash mitt. Just the right weight and handle length.

This brush does a very good job at taking off the dirt, especially brake dust and grime that usually sticks to the wheels. The bristles are strong enough to clean effectively but still soft enough not to scratch the surface. The short handle gives great control, and the grip feels secure even when wet. After multiple uses, the bristles keep their shape and the brush still looks like new. For the price, it’s an excellent tool for car detailing.

Awsome

It's a Mothers product so you know it's going to be good. I like that the brush has the rubberized edge to prevent any unwanted scratches and nicks when you are washing your rims. Bristles are nice and soft and do a great job cleaning away the brake dust.
