Vikan Extra Long Wheel Brush
The Vikan Extra Long Wheel Brush comes in two parts the main red and green brush head and the extra Long Handle.
The main reason it is in two parts, is because the brush head is replaceable, but after a quick browse on the Internet I couldn’t find a replacement head, and also i cant see why you would need to replace the Vikan brush head either as the polyester filaments are fairly stiff.
The brush is great at aggitaing the dirt inside the alloy but i was worried at first about the flex in the shaft of the brush and after been used a few times, there is an apparent bend in the shaft.
The only problem with the Vikan brush head been replaceable is that i have found it working itself loose on a few occasions when been used behind brake calipers.
On the very tip of the brush head, the metal twist is exposed which is a slight worry as i have a few times hits suspension legs.
The major problem i have with the Vikan Extra Long Wheel Brush is that the polyester filaments are fairly stiff and i fear they could mark and scratch the faces of alloy wheels so if this is happening then its more than likely happening to the inside of the alloy wheel.
The Vikan Extra Long Wheel Brush will now probably be used as a wheel arch brush.
