CG The Racoon Brush any good ?

[Webb]

I didn't even bother looking at CG reviews because they delete the neutral and bad ones,so for 10 bucks this is s good wheel brush ?

Thanks

Never tried it. But I have tried the Ferret. It works well except for getting sprinkled with soap when you pull it from the barrels. Tis why I want to buy these: Wheel Woolies wheel brushes (http://www.autogeek.net/wheel-woolies.html)

I havent tried the raccoon either but have the ferret. I only use it for cleaning wheels but it does its job well especially behind the spokes on most wheels.

I just got a set of WheelWoolies and used them for the first time last weekend. :dblthumb2: The big one did a great job of cleaning the rims behind the spokes. I also tried a Swissvax brush for the first time. Also :dblthumb2: I have several other wheel cleaning tools, but never touched them.

Dan.

P.s. I have a couple brushes that look like those racoon brushes. They work ok, but the Woolies and Swissvax combo are FAR superior.

Hmmm... I don't live too far from their store. Maybe I'll pass by and check them out in person.

That large woolie looks perfect for my 18" wheels. The others look like they'd come in handy too. They're currently sitting in my cart waiting for a good sale.

I have the blue one that was supposed to be the knock off Daytona (not sure which animal they named it after with their cleaver marketing mumbo jumbo) and I personally can't stand it. It doesn't really clean well, the head is to small, and it moves around/bends on me when I put some pressure on it.

How much were the CG wheel woolies? I've been super interested in getting a set of those. Seems like they would clean a lot better than the Daytona and not have the splatter issue.

Not sure the price on them they only had a sample set but I think he said $50

I say pass on it. I had one and it broke the third time i used it not to mention the metal core rusted. I bought a daytona after that and I think it is a much better brush.

I thought they were warranties against rusting? Mine hasnt but i say call chemical guys and get a replacement.

Not sure if this is allowed since AG doesn't sell it, but I just got a RaceGlaze wheel brush and will be trying it out in a day or two.

the cg's racoon brush is basically the same as the discontinued megs wheel spoke brush. i haven't had any problems using them (as long as you don't roughly bend it often), but everyone has different experiences just like with anything else these days...
