Lug nut brush longevity
How often are you replacing your lug nut brush and when do you decide it's time for a replacement?
My bristles are often frayed so I put a rubber band on mine to keep the bristles pointed forward.

I believe it is the Griots, red collar and wooden handle.

Interesting, mine is as straight as the day i bought it, used damn near weekly and on 3 different vehicles.
I had purchased a set from orielly auto parts b4 i had purchased the one from autogeek. It looked identical to the one on ago. The 3 brushed were almost 20 bucks and it did not last a couple uses. I could not withstand being submerged in a bucket of water.

I'm using an Adams lug nut brush and not having any issues with it either. The bristles are fairly stiff and not very long, so it should hold up pretty well over time.

I have those and they are nice.
I switch to WorkStuff brushes recently and they are the best quality ones i’ve used and offer 4 different kinds of fibers.
Not cheap but are built like tanks.
I have about 10 different ones i’ve used.
I’d also trust the Adam’s brush.

I haven’t used a dedicated lug nut brush for a while now. I just hit it with the tip of my Mothers Wheel Brush.

Re: Lug nut brush longevity
Are you able to get into the lugs very well that way? On both my car and the wife's, the wheels have small, deep holes for the lugs. They are barely bug enough to get a deep-set, thin walled socket in. I tried using my wheel brushes, but could only get around just the opening and not all the way to the back around the lug nut/bolt. This is what drove me recently to a lug brush. I got tired of brake dust building up in those areas.
Maybe my technique was bad?
