    Hard working tool!

    Okay, so before I made the trip to Florida in January 2015 to attend Mikes Boot Camp/Competition Ready class, I was always hesitant about the purchase of these accessories & could never bring myself to take them all the way to the checkout when making an order. What if they were rubbish, & didn't work? It's a long way to ship from Autogeek all the way to New Zealand! Over 8000 miles to be correct, & well - shipping costs aren't pocket friendly either but for the fast delivery & first class customer service, I tend to over look the cost a bit, then cope with the import taxes & boarder duties etc.

    Like a few things I was looking forward to trying/working with in Mikes class, the Cyclo Polisher Brushes were definitely one. Whilst I was impressed using them for multiple uses over the course of the Boot Camp/Competition Ready class, from scrubbing tyres to seats & carpet & even trim, I still wondered how they would handle life here in New Zealand in a high use shop environment.

    The very next order I placed after getting home to New Zealand, I ordered 1 x Aqua, 1 x White & 1 x Grey, bearing in mind that they are designed for use with the Cyclo Polisher - there are two brushes per pack.

    Now almost two years later I have finally retired Aqua brush number 1. This brush has done some serious work, & I really do mean SERIOUS work in those two years. These brushes are Tough with a capital T! This brush was confined to use on interiors only (yes, we have some dirty vehicles down here) fabric seats & upholstery & also carpets. The other Aqua brush is still going strong that is designated for tyre scrubbing, the White brush I use for hard vinyl floors etc, & the Grey brushes I use on more delicate interior surfaces, such as trim & leather.

    Not only are they tough, they work, & they work well. Better than scrubbing by hand by leaps & bounds - just like machine polishing my hand or machine, machine wins every time. I get phenomenal results using these brushes, & as you have probably figured out - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    Here are a couple of pictures to show just how tough these Cyclo brushes are! Check out the bruises the old one has! Remember - TWO years of HARD work!!!

    Not bad for two years work huh? Actually, I say these are the toughest tools I have in the shop! Worth every cent & then some. As Mike Phillips says - "Quality doesn't cost money . . . it makes money"

    Thank you all for reading.

    Thanks for the review.

    I've been meaning to get one of these now that I have a PC style machine.

    Thanks mate.

    They really are fantastic, I just run mine on a couple of cheap DA polishers just in case I splash a bit too much solution in there.

    Is the white brush good enough to use for scrubbing tires?

    I'm trying to remember who I obtained that phrase from? I think it was from back when I worked at Hewlett-Packard? It will come to me...



    Thanks for sharing Aaryn...

    In my opinion, the Aqua brush is better for scrubbing tyres, the White brushes are just a little stiff for that use I think.

    Are the white bristles like the Tuff Shine Tire Brush? Or stiffer?
