    Anyone tried the Brush Hero?

    I saw this and thought it looked interesting. It's on sale today as part of a made up holiday for a certain website named after a certain rain forest, but I wanted to get the Autogeek community seal of approval before making the purchase. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    While I haven't used this wheel brush, I do have something similar. I have the Wheel Woolie Power Woolie and I love it. Like $5-$6 more than the brush hero.

    Throw in a 3-way T-adapter,

    and it'd be golden!

    IMO the bristles seem to small (not long enough) and the price point for it is a little high. i use the lake country wheel mitt (below) in conjunction with other tools and it's worked for me...


    was looking for this in the AG store and sadly it's discontinued...
    looks like it's still available in the autopia store...

    Re: Anyone tried the Brush Hero?

    I actually have it. It does an OK job, but if you have a vehicle with bad brake dust you'll still need something to cut through that first. I had a Focus ST with brake dust as bad as a bmw and bought this for that car. It helped, but I still needed to prep and sometimes scrub the wheel with whatever cleaner first.

    Ultimately, it beats using a brush on its own as you don't have to do as much scrubbing motion, but it doesn't replace the rest of your wheel cleaning arsenal.

    I absolutely love this product! I've ridden my bicycle through multiple cyclocross races and caked on serious mud on my bike. Having to take my bike home in my car, more significantly getting it in the house without making my wife mad, this product quickly and effectively cleans off the bike and gets through the nooks and crannies and doesn't require batteries. The simplest engineering solutions sometimes are the most effective, and the brush hero is a model of this thinking. You guys can take a look at it. https://gadgetsliving.com/brush-hero-review. For me it's good enough

    That was a good wheel mitt. Looks like the Car pro mini would work also.

    Oh no!

    I'm glad now I got two on BOGO sale. I really like the little wool mitt. They are pretty durable so the two I have should last me a while.

    I don't think you can do better than a speed master brush. and you'd probably be able to do 4 wheels in the time it would take to figure out that contraption. it's cheap enough, and that's telling me something. try that speed master brush you'll love it.

    Re: Anyone tried the Brush Hero?

    I bought one and i used it. Since ive gained more experience in what i do i dont use it much anymore though. It was nice for a while on rims with the heavier duty brush. The water doesnt give it enough power to keep turning when you put pressure on it.
