Clean your car's lug nuts
faster, easier and better!
Product review by Terry Freiberg
When two Porsche enthusiasts and
admitted "geeks" living and working in the high-tech world of Silicon Valley,
California got tired of using cotton swabs, greasy rags and chemicals to clean
their car's wheels, they decided to do something about it. The two friends
pooled their talents and after several designs and prototypes, created the
Lugnut Brush.
Made of space-age, polymer bristles, the tips are "feathered" to eliminate scratches.
The brushes are handcrafted using precision CNC controlled machines in the Silicon Valley. These are not gimmicks. These
brushes are well thought out, precision tools that are made to last. They reach
deep into wheel openings and scrub both the opening and the lug nut. They can
also be used to clean narrow wheel slots and around tire stems. The Lugnut Brush
has been extensively tested on Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other exotic
cars, RV's, 18-wheelers and even a Lear Jet. They are absolutely guaranteed not
to scratch any polished wheel.
Two brushes are available.

The Lugnut Brush is available with a
comfortable, ergonomic, handle for hand use or with a 3/8 inch, tri-lobed, shaft for use with any
cordless drill. I use and own both brushes. Normally, I'm too lazy to drag out
my cordless drill so I use the brush with a handle. Rotating the brush in my
hand and swishing it around each lug nut opening does an excellent job. I
also use it to clean the narrow slots in my Mercedes wheels. This takes a
little longer by hand. I usually have to do the slots at least twice to get
all the brake dust out. |

Lately, I've started using the brush with my cordless drill.
Hands down it cleans better job and cleans faster than trying to do it by
hand. It also does my wheel's slots in one pass. Since I have my bucket of
sudsy water and my cordless drill already out, I take an extra few minutes
to use a BLACKFIRE Power Stick to clean the backs of the wheels and then use
the Lugnut brush to clean the lug nut openings and lug nuts. |

The brush works great by
hand but... |
using a cordless
drill is faster and does a
better job at cleaning narrow slot openings. |
|
Bottom line. If you don't
own a cordless drill or if you don't see yourself using a drill to clean
your wheels, get the Lugnut brush with the handle. You'll love it. If your
fussy or if you are fanatical about the way your car's wheels look get the
brush with the 3/8 shank and use your cordless drill. Or, if it won't
break your piggy bank get both brushes and use the one that fits your mood!
Both are highly recommended.
