PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Brake dust, road grime, mud, and oil stick to rims more than any other part of your vehicle. That is where the SONAX microfibre wheel rim brush can make a real difference. They are specifically designed to tackle tough grime, brake dust, and road debris that accumulate on wheels over time. It is the preferred choice for car enthusiasts and professionals alike.What the Product Does
The SONAX microfibre wheel rim brush is a detailing tool for removing stubborn dirt from the wheels of cars. It has a long handle, which allows effective cleaning of the rim even in areas difficult to access with a regular sponge or brush. The product is made from high-quality microfibre material to optimally protect against scratches and is therefore ideal for sensitive rim surfaces (e.g. high-gloss black).Benefits vs Features
Benefits
- Superior Cleaning Efficiency: Its soft and tender bristles provide a unique cleaning action that effectively removes stubborn contaminants without damaging the wheel’s surface.
- Durability and Longevity: The aluminum component of these brushes provides added strength and resistance to wear, ensuring that the brush remains effective over time. Also, its microfibre bristles are designed to maintain their shape and cleaning power, even after repeated use.
- Gentle on Wheel Surfaces: The SONAX microfibre wheel rim brush is designed with this in mind, offering a cleaning solution that is tough on dirt but gentle on surfaces. The bristles are typically softer than those found on traditional brushes, reducing the risk of scratching or damaging the finish on your wheels.
- Enhanced User Comfort: This brush is designed with ergonomic handles and lightweight materials, making it easier to maneuver and less tiring to use during extended cleaning sessions.
Technical Features
- Soft and Tender Bristles: Made from high-quality soft microfibre, the bristles allow for gentle cleaning of sensitive rims, including light alloy, steel, chrome, and matte.
- Ergonomic Design and Reach: We designed the handle of this brush to be long, slim, and durable, ensuring that it reaches deep into the rim well and between tight spoke gaps. This makes it suitable for more modern intricate wheel designs.
- Comfortable Handle: This brush has a non-slip grip handle made of plastic and easy-to-manage materials.
- Maintenance: Requires only rinsing after use to remove contaminants.
How to Use
- Preparation: Before anything, start by wearing a safety glove to avoid skin irritation when cleaning. Then, moisten the brush to make it glide through your rim, while it lifts dirt from its surface.
- Application: Spray a cleaner on the dry wheel and leave it for its dwell time (typically between 3 and 5 minutes). You will notice that the cleaner will turn purple as it reacts with the brake dust in your car. You mustn’t let it dry on its surface.
- Cleaning and Agitation: Using the brush, lift the dirt on the rims, ensuring you reach deep into the rim barrel.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse your rims and the brush with a high-pressure washer until all the purple residue and loosened dirt are gone.
