Default Thinking of buying some power stick wheel cleaners

Hey All;

Anyone have any experience with "power sticks" to clean wheels.

I have seen a few posts in C6 general having them for sale.

I am looking to see if someone has some "real world" experience with them.

I have an 09 with chrome Gumby wheels.

Thanks...

I've not used the "power sticks", but I think you will find the EZ detail brush (which I have) to work better as it can be bent to get behind the spokes, where the "power sticks" don't bend.

Good point.

I did buy two of these brushes at end of year when autogeek had a sale.

Maybe I will stick with them.

Daytonas are still the most desired for wheel cleaning, so you made a good choice. Between being bendable, and soft enough for finish, its a great combo indeed.

ProperAutoCare has the Power sticks and they work great with your drill. With the EZ Detail Brush one can have perfect rims in no time using P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner.

Mind if I ask what you didn't like about it? I currently have the regular EZ , Daytona, and EZ mini and all of them have been great.

I have bought all my detailing stuff from you guys after talking to one of your guys at Sema 08, and because he was nice enough to spend alot of time with me and explain a ton of stuff, I will continue to purchase everything from you guys, the only thing I didn't like is that wheel cleaning brush, I would have like the handle to be solid, so when you are brushing the wheel barrel it doesn't continue to bend. No biggy, all the other products I bought are great. A customer for life, now open a store in Orlando.
