If those gloss black wheels can survive through the Mothers Wheel Brush without scratches, then they can pretty much survive mostly anything…

It is like a flagged tipped brush, very mild. I have bronze painted wheels and I’ve seen no scratching at all. Have had that brush so many years that I have no idea when I bought it but I just bought another one for a friend and his new Accord. The new one seems just as soft.

I also use that same Mothers Wheel Brush, along with their wheel well brush. I’ve never really thought about how it compares to the flag tipped brush, but feeling them both right now side by side the Mothers brush is almost as soft as the flag tipped brush. There’s a slight noticeable difference.

Re: Wheel brush to clean gloss black wheels
[mention]DFB [/mention] thanks for your pictures and post. You always do a great job of describing and visualizing that’s helpful.
Regarding the Mothers Brush I do believe it’s also a “flagged tip” brush just less dense number of bristles in the brush head.

The fronts are 9.5" and the rears are 10". These replaced 9.0" and 9.5".
Ideally, you would want the larger/longer EZ brush to reach all the way through. On the rears, I don't have the same caliper clearance issues as the front so the Incredibrush does it all.

The unmounted wheel looks like easy cleaning compared to the mounted wheel. You almost only need a wash mitt to clean those wheels.

Re: Wheel brush to clean gloss black wheels
The Immortal Brock Yates had the greatest line when he was editor of motor trend for the requirements for a good wheel:
“The best designed wheel will show as much brake disc and caliper as possible, and be able to be cleaned with one swipe of a wash mitt…”
I couldn’t agree more…The wheel directly about qualifies perfectly.
