Tire brushes

Goto FUYI BRUSH to know more.



There's a million ways to skin a cat. (sorry PETA - just an old saying, I like cats).

My preference for effectiveness and safety is to use a cordless tool with a brush attached and let the MACHINE do the work.



Machines always outperform puny humans

Sure you can scrub tires by hand, I do it, but my preference is to machine scrub. Below are some examples. The best option in my opinion and experience is the brush on the Cordless FLEX PE14, after that the Cordless Mighty Mini with an Aqua Cyclo Brush. After that the low profile brush by hand.



How to machine scrub tires using the Cordless FLEX PE14



The art of photography....
Holding the camera in one hand while squeezing the spray with the other hand and timing the exact moment to get this type of "action shot".







Yeah buddy....





Have to admit, normally I would hold the FLEX with both hands but in this moment the other hand was manning the camera.

Review: Machine Tire Scrubber by Mike Phillips - NO SHOCK HAZARD WHILE WASHING YOUR CAR!




Recently we brought in a cordless spot repair polisher and I was asked to test it out. I charged the battery and the affixed a couple different types of buffing pads, placed it against a body panel turned it on a just as expected, the little hand held drill looking tool spun the pad against the paint. I sent in my feedback that the tool did in deed work to buff paint but what where I think it really shines, (no pun intended), is as shock-proof machine tire scrubber.


What am I talking about?

I'm talking about machine scrubbing your tires instead of hand scrubbing and I'm talking about using this little handheld cordless polisher as a machine tire scrubber. You see, this tool unlike a drill uses an attatchment design that uses a 5/16" fine thread spindle not a universal adjustable chuck like most drills.

Guess what?

The Cyclo brushes have a 5/16" fine thread spindle. This means they will thread onto this cordless polisher and turn it into a cordless machine scrubber.

Tire cleaning by Hand



Did you now there's a SCIENCE to the bristles of brushes? You bet there is. I'd say it's hard to find anyone that can verbalize the reasons for different types and sizes let alone someone that can type it out. When it comes to scrubbing tires you don't want to use a brush with long bristles.

Why?

Because using your hand, arm and shoulder muscles to scrub a vertical surface a LOT as in over and over again, taxes your muscles and then you simply don't do a very good job of actually getting the tires sidewalls clean. What works better for the tire and for the human is a brush that uses SHORT STIFF BRISTLES like the hand-held brush you see in the picture below. What works even better is to machine scrub your tires.







Step 1: Spray a liberal amount of tire cleaner to the tire.








Step 2: Scrub tires thoroughly to agitate the tire cleaner to loosen and remove tire blooming, road film and oxidation.





Note the brown, mud like color in the tire foam? This is the blooming, road film and oxidation coming off the tire.









Step 3: Rinse thoroughly...







In this close-up from the above picture, you can see the wave of brown ick blasting off the tire sidewall...






Repeat process

If you really want your tires clean, for example to apply a tire dressing or a tire coating, then repeat the tire cleaning process until you see a white colored tire cleaner foam on the sidewall. This is the visual indicator that the tire cleaner is completely clean.







Here you can see the tire cleaner foam is now white after scrubbing... this is the sign the tires are clean.

Wheel Works Medium Duty Wheel & Body Brush

Always test in a small, inconspicuous area before first use. Rinse wheels with a sharp stream of water to remove loose dirt and soften tough grime. Spray wheel cleaner on wheels, tires, brakes, wheel liners, and suspension components, and let sit for several minutes to break down filth and grime. Use brush to gently agitate dirt and grime, then rinse away with a sharp stream of water. 

To clean engine bays, spritz all surfaces with water to break up dirt. Then use a spray like the Orange Degreaser, the All Clean Degreaser, or the Nonsense All-Purpose Cleaner to spray down all frame components and plastic surfaces. Lightly agitate the cleaner using your Wheel Works brush, scrubbing off any dirt or grease. Wipe off the product with a microfiber towel.
