CHEAP Amazon Wheel Brushes vs Wheel Woolies, Which is the Best?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Have you ever bought Cheap Wheel Brushes and Been surprised by how GOOD or BAD they are??? Let me know below ⬇

[@thefreshprinceofgreenhills]

Yep brought the Chemical Guys Gerbil Wheel and Rim brush, high price tag for a something that didnt even last a year. Never again

[@theflash4956]

Hi Dave, no haven't bought any cheap wheel brushes, but the real deal Wheel Woolies pack of 3 and the caliper woolie. Just checked the receipt, bought them in June 2017, total cost £56.00. All of them still look brand new. OK, the big one, has a few threats missing, due to me pumping the brush in the wheel as though it's a toilet, and aggressive use of my arm and the fact my wheels have the wheel disc and disc cover to the side and not in the middle, creating a tiny space, which the big brush can't go through, and me being lazy to get the other smaller brush, even though it's in the wheel bucket with the other brushes. Not sure why BMW do this. But, still very happy with the real woolies. I am trying to avoid anything made in China, if possible, as virtually everything has been total crap, and fell apart after a few months. Ending buying the real quality stuff, so wasted money buying cheap. But sometimes, some cheap items are OK. Will be interested to see how well they last.

I got the smaller red WF type wheel brush. The build is as good as my Meguiars wheel woollie and the cleaning ability is excellent for alloys. Cost me £4.00 from Amazon!

[@rikitikimasala]

do you have a video saying if the cheap set were worth it or not in the end after testing durability?

[@HitchinValeting]

Great review and demonstration, I've brought stuff before with good online reviews and more often been poor quality or not fit for purpose but these look pretty good, many thanks.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate well I'm testing these every day from now so will post updates on the channel soon 👌

[@stephenhanford5139]

I bought a set of the cheap wheel woolies similar to ones you're testing, about a year ago. Still in box as I'm still loving the EZ car care wheel brush tbh 🙂 maybe this video might gimme the urge to try mine !? Great tips & videos as always David 👌😁

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Stephen, yeah would be great if you tested them as I'm hoping other people will read it as it may really help others at the moment 🙏

[@daviddale6056]

I bought a set of three of these a few months ago and so far have had no issues. I have only used them 3 or 4 times but they have been given pretty hard use and holding up well.

[@GreatGregarious]

The Amazon ones?

[@daviddale6056]

@GreatGregarious No I got them off Ebay but they are most likely all from the same place.

[@Danmuddle]

Great video! Inspired me to start my own channel! Van tour will be coming soon!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Nice one well done & good luck 👌

[@briansymes2936]

They work fine I’ve been buying different styles for the last 12 months and I still have 2 of my 3 original Woolies I bought 5 years ago. The medium Woolie kept getting caught on different wheels and is just about buggered now. My favourite one I use now on my own 2 cars (no one else’s cars coz I love it 😂) is a long hair soft style brush from Amazon. No scratches and plastic with a soft foam handle. Best $19 AUD I’ve spent.

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

I’m definitely going to try the Amazon wheel Wolly’s at that price Thank you for brilliant comparison video

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you 🙏

[@stephenlouden480]

they last if you're not bending them. i go through a set every 6 or 7 months because of bending. ones that I don't bend I still use over a yr later.. It's like a paper clip. keep bending it, and it will crack at that bend, so just angle them inside the barrels, and they will last longer. also, if you're not being aggressive with them, they will last longer too. the quality chemicals you use do half the work, so use good chemicals and lots of suds and do less work scrubbing 👍 its a business expense like soap. you don't have to use the crappiest ones. but you also don't have to use the best ones available. a 2 or 3 pack for 20 to 30 $ is the sweet spot. don't get the 5$ ones. and no need for the 50$ ones. great videos. keep it up

[@marktrower2267]

Once again another fantastic & informative video Dave 👍🏼

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Mark. It's amazing how it takes to make a 5 mins video 😬

[@eamonkelly2792]

Great video and review dave, I have the EZ detail brushes, when they eventually go I'll have to look into these 👍👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Nice one. Im praying these hold out so hopefully a few others in the comments let me know how long they lasted

[@-GRHD-]

I've only recently started and I don't want to spend loads on the genuine wheel woolies but I know quality is important but the cheap ones seemed to perform well so I'll have a look at them

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah it's such a hard task finding good cheap brushes. I will keep people posted on these as I will be using them a lot of the time now

[@alexisamtosta]

I'll give you some advice... You dont have to buy the best of the best, but buy good quality stuff. Spend a bit more and go for better stuff or else you will see yourself spending a lot in things that dont work properly and you are not even saving that much compared to buying better quality stuff. That works for products and tools. Some things are expensive and its purely marketing. Many tools are made buy the same company and rebranded for other companies. You will see that with polishers, detailing brushes etc. The truth is that we also have to try things out to see if they work and if you like it. Then there is also another situation that is, not always the cheap or cheaper stuff is bad. Not too long ago, I sold very cheap a bundle of cheaper products I bought to try out but they werent actually that good. And the reality is, that we all start from the bottom and we all have a budget. So its a matter of balancing things.

[@onedaystrangerenough]

Hi Dave I have the red ones which I've had for 9 months and are still in pretty decent nick,like the way you can bend them to clean behind the spokes and calipers.😎

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

That's good to know even if they last 12 months it's not bad going at 60p a month per brush 👌

[@tmphotography8443]

I got the Autobrite wheel woolies in one of their sales, £30 for 7 brushes so not so bad. Only problem has been after a couple of washes the heads come off the handles ! Only way I can use em now is with an elastic band in a couple of spots to hold it on

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah I heard few things about them being bit cheap. These ones are ok but not amazing

[@norb0254]

Even though i have been cleaning my cars for more years than i care to remember,i have never heard of these wheel woolies ,i have the brush that sprays you when using them .I used to either crawl under the back of the car to clean the inside of the alloys,and put it on lock for the fronts ...As to what wheel woolies to buy ,It all depends how often you clean your car and to what standard...Im a mechanic so 99% of my kit is snap on ,so it is in constant use ,for the odd tool that gets used once a year if its lucky then i buy a cheaper tool,as the snap on price is not justifiable ..If you are just a summer car cleaner ,then the cheaper ones would be better ,you would probably get a couple of years out them ...Still learning from your good self

[@CL4SSiCS]

Great video! I might give them a try. The material they're made out of dosent necessarily look like complete wool. But it looks good enough

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah it's some synthetic fibre probably out of an old loft or something but it did the job quite well 👌

[@mann8254]

Thanks Dave, I need to still get of those great video

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏

[@yohamc4959]

Keep up the great content Dave, enjoying the videos, any tips or tricks on taking out scratches from the windscreen? from a dodgy wiper blade,

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate it's actually on my video To do list very soon as there's fair bit to cover

[@Bikertyke]

I'm not a detailer, just clean my own cars. . Bought the Halfords own brand one. Not great. Just bought the small EZ wheel brush to try. Really like it. So going to invest in the large one.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I had a few of them in the past sadly they didn't last long at all for me

[@Chris-pj1os]

Bought some amazon cheapos, and used them once. The center of the cleaning pad was too wide and unable to be used in gaps that weren't over 2 inches or so. I sent them back, will look for a wheel cleaning brush with a thinner 'core" at the center of the brush.

[@torque2695]

Great video Dave, I bought those cheaper ones from Amazon and I'm really surprised I've been using them on my customers cars evey day for 3 months and are still on good condition. Be interesting to see how you get on with them in time.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Nice one that's great, have any bits started to fall off yet or have they become easier to bend?

[@torque2695]

@@epicautomotivedetailing nothing noticeable Dave still in good condition. I use the smaller one most of the time, and still bends pretty stiff too .....if you pardon the expression 😂. Maybe when I use the snowfoam like you when doing the wheels it helps preserves them as it gives better lubrication. See how you get on with them mate.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

@@torque2695 nice one thanks for the update 👌

Hello mate I only use infinity wax leather cleaner now. Once you use it once you won't use anything else it's that good. I always use a medium and soft brush or scrub pads 👌

Hi Dave love the idea of cheap wheel brushes but I've been using meguiars wheel brushes for the last 3 years and still on my first set which to me proves that cheap ain't best,

Thanks mate

Got a set of the red ones off amazon, used tonight and so far so good. See what happens in a couple of months time 😂

The chunky brush I still have but the skinny brush died off pretty quick

[@thedetailbay3933]

The new max shine brushes are excellent

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Definitely need to take a look at them 👌

[@RoadToDetailing]

Great quality video Dave, as always! These brushes are very similar to SGCB wheel brush kit, and the bigger brush of theirs is a bit thicker, but the same properties than the one you demo. However, the price is still nearly 2,5 times more than the one you found. So far, looks good. Will be good to see how long will they last, (to cheap to be good, as they say :D ). Looking forward to the updates 🙌

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I'll have a look. These ones really are a pretty good bargain from what I can see. I just hope they last but I'll be testing them daily

[@JackNevin69]

How did the cheaper woolies perform in the longer term in the end?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Awful

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

good comparison but if bend frequently will it no brake it

It's been a year. How have they held up? If they haven't lasted a year, about how many washes DID they go?

They failed miserably lol

@@epicautomotivedetailing Oh well. Guess I'll stick with my EZ brush. That thing is indestructible. Amazon says I bought mine in August of 2014 HAHAHA. No idea how many wheels that thing has cleaned.

Hello Dave,i used to have some wheel woolies from eBay and the hair dint last long on them,they must have improved since then,I usually use EZ brushes now.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Ive had so many bad ones from ebay and aliexpress so i gave up on them since having wheel woolies but after trying these its kind of opened my eyes a little bit to the fact things may be improving. Definitely good value for 2 brushes just hope they hold out

Isn't amazon America any way

[@alexisamtosta]

Those red ones, just buy the cheapest of them you can find as they are all exactly the same. I got fooled buy a seller and paid £25 for the pack of 3, then as started seeing them averaging £15. I want to but the EZ brushes that are anti splash brushes.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah there are so many similar ones knocking about. Wondering if AliExpress sell the same ones cheaper

How are you getting on with the cheap ones then?
