If thump doesnt mind I will do a quick review of it. Ive used it plenty of times, the most recent friday night. The brush is pretty long and bends to allow you to reach the tight places. I cleaned my 20x10 rims the other night and got the inside of the wheel no problem. it doesnt scratch the rims and cleans off remarkeably easy. it scrunches together to fit in the tighest spots, including in between the spokes of my rims. the very tip of the brush is rubber end. For $25 I say this brush is a steal and before I purchased it about 4 months ago, I wonder how I got along without it.

I have a brush that looks exactly like that one, but with a different colored handle. I found that over time the fact that it bends became an issue as it got weak. Also, if stored touching ANYTHING the bristles were permanently fixed in that position.

I have since purchased some new stuff since I can't even use mine anymore.

Hopefully you guys got a higher quality version!

The brush was first made for motorcycles. these versions are for rims. They are very high quality and the bendable handle has not been an issue thus far, ive noticed no problems with it. I store the brush in the case it came it. Do you know the maker of your brush?

I do a lot of researching before spending any money even for small things like detailing items. I did a bunch of research to find a brush like this and everyone that has bought the one that Gators and I have just loves it. I also hear they last a while.

No I don't mind at all. I'm actually looking forward to detailing my girlfriend's car soon as I'm fully recovered. I've got a lot of new toys to try out.

I've never used the Cobras but after a lot of research I found out that they really aren't worth the money. I can't speak from first hand experience so take what I say with a grain of salt. I think it's worth a shot. I still think they look really good in the photos but that doesn't mean much. If you do get them, let me know what you think about them.
