Review: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
This is just a quickie review.
I had a chance to try my new Daytona Speed Master Brush today. I purchased the product primarily to work on vehicles with wire wheels or other difficult wheels. Including ones with clearance issues between the calipers and the wheel.
Pros:
Not overly expensive compared to other high-end products
Highly effective at reaching tight areas and conforming to the available space
Chemical resistant
Hand guard to protect your hand from danger
Long bristles reach into impossible spots.
Cons:
Soft bristles don't do much for baked on brake dust
Flexible stem doesn't allow you to put much elbow grease into agitation
Kinda pricey if you need 2 of them (one for wheels, one for general purposes)
Summary:
Overall, I found the brush to be everything it is advertised to be, but probably not everything it's hyped to be. If your wheels are well cared for, and you don't need to "scrub" them, just agitate, then this brush is just the ticket. It makes quick work of hard-to-reach areas and really gives good agitation moving side to sided and in an out. However, if need to scrub a wheel, you need a different tool.
Where I did find this brush incredibly valuable was cleaning in the grill, and other tough areas. It should be marvelous for engine cleaning, cleaning tough grills (Mustang 99-04), louvered hoods or other areas, etc.
Overall a VERY worthwhile purchase.

Re: Review: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
I have 2 of these brushes and like them a lot. I keep my rims very clean, but I do have a couple secondary scrub brushes for dirty customer rims.
What wheel cleaner did you use with the brush?

I started with Griot's to test the product. I posted a review a few minutes ago. I then moved to Surf City Grime Destroyer. Hands down the best grime killer I have ever seen or used. I don't know what they put in it, but it friggin WORKS.

To be honest, Ive bought it twice, both times at the local Pep Boy's. Never again. I am going to see if I can get this stuff by the gallon. Nothing else I have works as well.

Re: Review: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
Used my new DSM wheel brush for the first time yesterday on wife's 09 Accord. It had been about two weeks since it was last washed due to all the rain in the midwest. I have to say that I was disappointed by the results. I found that the bristles where to soft. There wasnt what I would call baked on brake dust and it barely cut through it using my regular wash soap because I really like to reduce the amount of junk that is released into the storm drains. When used with wheel cleaner it did do a better job but still not so good. My microfiber mit that I use on wheels did a better job.
It does allow you to get into the nooks and crannies and all the way to the inside of the wheel which I like alot !!!

Re: Review: Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
Nice review. Can you compare this to the EZ Detail Brush? I've read that the Daytona brush has softer bristles to be more gentle on rims, and that the handle and the tip are less prone to failure.

To my knowledge they are the same besides the size, being the whole mini is 1" shorter then just the bristles of the daytona....
