    I couldn't find any pictures of me using the long bristle brush this way - I'm sure I have some, just wrote this article on-the-fly....

    My class in Auburn will be using this set-up first thing Saturday morning. I'll get some pictures.

    Re: Must Have Wheel Cleaning Brushes that make cleaning wheels fast and easy

    Wow! I feel like I’ve just cleaned & scrubbed a set of wheels & tyres.

    What an EPIC write up Mike! It’s hard to read that & not want to break out the wheel bucket & brushes & find some wheels to do. Like most things - a quality brush is going to perform better every time.

    I had seen your set up with the Mighty Mini before but I searched for it a couple of times & couldn’t find a thread about it & for the life of me, couldn’t find the picture I had seen either. So it is a Cyclo Brush! Excellent! I have a Mighty Mini (not called that here) & a bunch of Cyclo Brushes (a shop favourite for me - Hard working tool! ) I’m going to put this combo together on Monday. A much safer option than having a cord around near water like I do now.

    Brilliant thread Mike, thank you.

    Yeah.... I've been shocked before so when we brought the Mighty Mini in to the AG store the first thing I though of was not spot buffing paint but machine scrubbing tires without getting shocked!

    Perfect, I look forward to the pics of the long bristle brush in action... but based on your advice alone, I would already have led down that path. Will be ordering a long bristle head soon.
