DI Brushes E-Z Detail Brush Product Reviews

I own both the full and mini size E-Z Detail brush and it's been a great addition to my repertoire of detailing products. I'm just a car enthusiasts not a professional detailer but I find that these tools are great in making dirty cleaning jobs a lot easier. I use Sonax wheel cleaner along with this detail brush and a boar hair brush to clean my wheels. The mini E-Z detail brush is great for small spots or the muffler tips. Full detail brush is great for the engine bay and wheel barrels. It's my go-to product for cleaning my M3 wheels and friends that tried it before end up picking one up also.

Found so many things to use this brush with, wheels, engine bay, door jambs, and in between quad exhaust tips. I love it. The bristles are a bit soft after prolong use but nothing good last forever.

The rubber handle broke away from the rest of the brush. At the core of this item are two metal wires that resemble those wires used on cheap white clothes hangers(kind that you get from the dry cleaners). They did not last more than 3 cleanings of my car's rims.

This brush works very well. At first I was wondered if the bristles would be hard enough to clean but when you use it with some P21 it worked great at getting into tight places without breaking or dislodging something out of place, especially under the hood.

Great tool for rims! I have a 2004 silverado that had some grim on the inside of the rims. Rather than take my rims off, I purchased this upon a suggestion from a friend. It worked wonders! Accompanied with a wheel cleaner and water, this brush did the trick to make them look great! The flexibility is great, the fact that its made of plastic won't harm the rim, and the rubber tip on the end of the brush prevents scratches.

perfect size to get into crevices, bends easily as you need it

I don’t know how I would clean my wheels without the E-Z Detail Brushes. I own both sizes. They are great for getting the hard to reach places in your wheels, because you can bend them into any shape you want. The bristles are soft, which is nice and gentle on your wheels, but can make really scrubbing frustrating. Also on those cases when you are really scrubbing, they bend out of position. Those are the drawbacks but they are still great and I have never seen anything else I would rather have for the job.

This brush has simply made my life so much easier and cleaner! I was shocked at how I let myself suffer cleaning my wheels and tight areas without this brush, now it takes me half the time and half the effort to clean my wheels. I was so impressed I bought the smaller brush last week.

Love this brush. I have both the large and small one. Very easy to clean the barrels of my wheels with this. Comfortable and easy to use.

This brush is useful in the engine bay, but on wheels it is too easily bent. If the handle were more stiff I would recommend it.

I bought both, the small and the large detail brush and I'm very happy with them. My multispoke BMW wheels are finally clean on the inside.

Agree with the comments noted. Used the large brush. Brushes are a bit soft for heavy grime, and use goggles as you will get a face full of spray! I found the wire twist handle constantly bending a bit annoying but probably helps getting into tight spots. Used P21s spray cleaner, and the Tuff Shine Kit for a professional finish on my Mazda3s mags, finished with Mag Poilsh. Nice.

Not a bad product. It's more useful if you have many spokes on your wheels (I don't). It definitely helped get the inner wheel barrels cleaner than normal (in conjunction with Sonax wheel cleaner) - I was able to squeeze the brush between the wheel barrel surface and the brake rotors. (The smaller sized brush might work better for this). The bristles are soft, so it's not the best tool for removing really thick, caked-on layers of brake dust.

As others have noted (including the product description), you will get sprayed with dirty water/solvent when you pull the brush out from the wheel. My solution was to direct a spray of water from my hose at the brush as I was pulling it out. This kept most of the dirt from spraying on me.

Awesome brush! Very happy with it. Going to buy the larger one as well!

Not enough scrubbing strength, short life span. The mini brush actually broke at the stem on the very first wheel it came into contact with. :-(

Bought both the big and small brushes. Does a great job. Just be careful pulling the brush out of the wheel or you'll be covered in wet break dust

This brush is really convenient to use and simple... But one thing I dislike is how much grime and dirt you get flung back at you.... I think instead of wire, some sort of snap feature as a joint would be better, I'm afraid of bending the wire to the point of breaking.

Great accessory if you have multispoke wheels. This made it alot easier to clean my wheels and the flexible wire makes it perfect for getting into hard to reach areas. Bristles are soft yet rigid enough to clean any surface without scratching it.

Used small one on the engine and it got into the tight areas, kept forgetting not to stand right behind it and got sprayed in the face a few times as I pulled the brush out of a tight spot.

Great brush, but as with others the bristles are very soft and sparse. I would buy the mini if I were to order again.

Perhaps a "maybe" - nice brush, does get in behind the face to the barrel, but a little soft for my taste to be totally effective. Bristles are a little sparse.

Perfect to clean my 18" rims. Long enough to clean inside the rim without busing knuckles, helps when there is a rubber stopper to protect your hand. A lot less stiff than auto parts store brushes. Bends easily.

awesome! get both sizes! a must have!

Super soft...which is a good thing, but I end up getting a dirt bath. When you pull it out of places like spokes, or tight engine compartment areas, it will fling water and dirt back as the bristles straighten out. I'll continue to use a mitt to get the inner drums of my wheels clean. This brush will be demoted to underhood and undercarriage work.

I use this brush for cleaning between the spokes and cleaning the rim inside the wheel. This brush reaches through the spokes and will clean inside the wheel and is a tremendous time saver. Paired with PS2 Gel the results were amazing, wish I had found this product sooner.

I was looking for a good wheel brush that would clean out the spokes. I have a 3G TL w/ stock wheels, and those brake dust collects all over. Not as bad as Euro cars, but enough to make the wheels look really bad. The bristles are soft and they fold right into the small space in between the wheel and brake rotors. Slow rotation back and forth gets the job done. Although the face of the wheel, you will need a sponge to wipe the rest of the dirt off. Spray simple green and let it sit for a minute or so, then go into town. They don't sell this type of brush in stores, so I had to order it. All other brushes I had either bent or just wasn't long enough to handle this type of job.

Awesome Brush & Great Customer Service !!

Saves my knuckles !

I took my wheels off to clean them, therefore this tool wasn't really necessary. Also, if you want a good rough scrub, this brush won't do it. On the plus side, it prevents you from applying too much pressure and possibly marring the rim. All in all, good buy for convenient maintenance cleaning.

This is the best brush that i've ever used for cleaning the diamond cut style wheels on my wife's 325ix. I regret not buying the mini as well as it seems that the majority of the tip of the brush is all that was really used in this application. The brush really did a great job removing the built up dirt, but also cleaned up incredibly well. this IS a quality brush!! I also used it on the 5 spokes on my 318ti and it did a great job getting all the way to the back of the rim and when contoured to fit, even cleaned behind the spokes really well. This was money well spent!

My only complaint was that I didn't purchase the mini at the same time.

The standard, and with good reason. This brush, along with the mini-me version, has replaced four or five other cumbersome brushes. It works just as well on sidewalls and wheel wells as it does on wheels. (And yes, before you cringe, it rinses easily in between.) I hesitated for months based on price...silly me. If you're remotely considering it, do it.

I don't know how I lived without it! Makes cleaning my wheels a breeze, gets into all the crevices yet is very soft.

Like others said, handle broke off from normal use.

Works wonders for cleaning your entire wheel including the inner barrel. Also bends so you can clean the back side and prevent brake dust from caking up.

Use this with P21S Wheel Gel and you have a great 1-2 punch for cleaning wheels.

Works well for little brake dust but it works... Used other cheap brushes with harder bristles and it always get the dirt all over me..

This is a must have - it makes cleaning the wheels so much easier. If you don't want brake dust to splatter on you in the cleaning process, stand a little off to the side.

I have both the mini and full sized brushes, and use them weekly on my wheels and engine bay. Both are fantastic for the price, and are "must have's' in my arsenal. Couldn't imagine detailing my car without them.

Loved it, brush works wonders in tight spots a microfiber can't fit. Makes engine bay detailing such a breeze! I bought the Mini brush

I like the brush and use it to clean my wheels, however it feel a part were it threads into the black handle.. I have not had this brush several months. I would think it should last under normal care this brush should last a year or more.

I earlier said I would *not* buy again, but that was based on the full size. I sold that one on eBay and bought the mini, and I'm glad I did. It is easier to manage for cleaning spokes and whatnot. It still doesn't clean the face of the wheel, but the mini works great for me. And is versatile enough to clean other areas if necessary, like door jams.

Love it!

Too big and rough for my taste on my wheels. Poor quality as described by other posters.

Way too expensive and not well built. Broke after about 15 washes. The rubber tip on the top wore out, taped it up with black electrical tape. Then, the handle simply snapped off. If this were an $8.00 product, no big deal.

Worked great...before it broke. Not like I was overly rough with it or anything, but the handle broke off from the brush after maybe 10 wash uses.

Been using the mini-brush on my wheels and exhaust tips. Works pretty well and does a pretty good job of agitating brake dust on the wheels. But the key is to use a good cleaner with it.

This is a must have, works very well. Seems to be durable, have only used a couple of times at this point.

Works very nicely. Bristles are soft yet seem to work well. Very safe on wheels although you may need something a bit more aggressive if your wheels are very dirty.

Have both the mini and regular detail brushes and can't imagine what it was like to clean my car without them. Great for wheels, wheel wells, exhaust tips, etc.

I have the bigger ez brush for my truck, but it was too big
for my wife's Civic,used the smaller brush on the civic,works like a dream. EZ brushes are the best I've owned.

It just made rim wheel cleaning so easy. It's easy to reach every single parts. But, still it was quite small than I thought. bigger one should be followed with mini one.

For my use it was perfect! I'm in a wheelchair so getting to my exhaust tips is a bit of a challenge, but with the E-Z Detail Brush, cleaning the exhaust tips was a breeze. Didn't really purchase it for any other cleaning purposes other than my exhaust tips...

I used the mini brush to clean the wheels and rims. An excellent brush. If you are using a good wheel cleaner like Griot's or P21S, you just let the product do the work and agitate a bit with the brush. A little more rigid would be good to help with the scrubbing action, but overall a good, solid, versatile brush.

Very flexible to get in all the areas of your wheel. I did have some trouble on my BMW getting the brush between the caliper and my wheel. Wasnt as much of an issue on my porsche. It is very flexible and bends a little more than I would like

I am very meticulous about my cars and the delicate wheel finishes. I order three of the small flagged blue brushes and they work excellent to get in all the nooks & crannies that make it hard to clean. I would highly recommend this tool to any car enthusiast.

I love this product, the mini is a great cleaning tool to reach tight areas where detail counts.

Superior brush for any wheel that needs to be cleaned. My wheels have no way of closing out any space to this brush. If you do get this brush I would suggest you use a safe but serious wheel cleaning product.

good product but as said needs to be more rigid. Also does not seem to be able to get the build up brake dust but works well other then that.

I can't believe I have been cleaning my car without one of these for this long. Great for wheels and the engine bay.

Excellent product for getting hard-to-reach spaces in engine compartments, between wheel spokes, inside the barrel of the wheel as well. The reason I am ordering a second one so soon is because the quality of construction is a bit lacking. For the price, it should last longer. Still like the product, but it could be better.

This brush made a world of difference cleaning the wheels of my 2005 330i with the 10 spoke ZHP wheels. Each spoke is actually a "double spoke" and even the mini-brush doesn't smoothly get between them, but it works well with a bit of practice.

Used in conjunction with P21S gel wheel cleaner, this brush did a fantasic job of reaching everywhere on the wheel. It even fit in the narrow spaces between the wheel barrel & caliper and caliper & spokes. Agitates well, rinses clean. Great brush, and worth the money.

LOVE THIS BRUSH!!! Bought the mini brush and used it yesterday during a detail on my 2009 G37's 19" 10-spoke sport wheels (which are normally a pain to clean). I even cleaned the barrels of the wheels, which normally I wouldn't focus on. Only one gripe -- the handle of the brush gets VERY slick with soapy water. If they could change the handle to more of a textured, firmer plastic, this product would be perfect!

Recently, I finally caved in and bought both brushes - Full Size and Mini, and I am glad I did. The quality is great. Both brushes feature Memory Bristles, so you just rinse them in warm water after a car wash, hang them dry, and the bristles return to their original shape. The bendable wire on both brushes makes it easy to twist the brushes to whatever shape or angle you need. The wire is extremely thick and won't be snapping on you any time soon. The Full Size is great for wheel barrels - large cleaning area but can also fit easily into tight spaces. I like the Mini for getting behind the spokes. Both brushes have long handles for easy reach.

My only gripes are that the bristles are very soft, so the scrubbing power is limited. And the handle becomes slippery in soapy water which makes it tricky to hold. I have tried many different wheel brushes similar to this and both EZ Detail Brushes are the best ones so far. Once you buy one, you understand why it's pricier than most other wheel brushes.

Excellent brush to have. I used it to cleen the inside of the rims and behind the wheel spokes with ease. The flexibility of the brush is also a plus. I highly recommend this product. Looking forward to purchasing the larger brush in the near future.

Nice brush. Does what it is supposed to do. For those that say that it does not get off the heavy stuff, try some PS21 gel...Or even better, clean your wheels the right way...take them off of the car, use some Poorboys wheel wax...clean your fenders with the wheels off. This is a once a year process and well worth it.

Since my rims have been properly maintained from day 1...it really works well...I really like the brush

I like the brush very much, and it was nice that this brush can get behind rotors and clean the inner barrel. I was surprised how flexible it was. It doesn't really clean the surface of rims, just between spokes and such. I only said "no" to buy it again because I think the mini would have been better suited for my application. Maybe I'll pick up a mini in the future.

This brush works great for those tight areas like between the caliper and the barrel of the wheel. I just wish the stem was a little stronger. Overall, a very useful tool that I will continue to use again and again.

this is the only brush my expensive Volk rims will ever see. use this to get into the barrel portion and behind the spokes. very gentle and will not scratch highly polished and anodized lips. probably not the best for really dirty wheels, but great for maintaining clean wheels.

I love that this brush has a flexible neck; it definitely makes it easier to reach behind the spokes and clean out the inner barrels. For those of you with multi-spoke wheels (my wheels have 10 split spokes), you won't have to worry; this brush fits into every nook and cranny you can think of!

It is what it is, a wheel brush. With the right products it is a cleaning machine, a joy to work with.

Great tool for the cleaning supplies! Perfect for cleaning the inside of my deep BMW wheels. Also great on many items in the garage including the lawnmower. Can be difficult to clean after getting thru heavy grease but what tool wouldn't be...

Yes--- If you have a very dirty not cared for wheels yes you will need a stiffer brush to remove and fix it.... But If you properly keep your wheels clean (wax them and from than on every 6-8 weeks re wax) than u just use this brush with the wash to keep your wheels clean!

it is flexible and goes easily behind to clean behind the rims --excellent--cleans off easy too... The bristles clean everything getting into nooks and crannies... simply wash out with hose and ready to go again and again. I have used for over 13 months (did re buy one as the cap rubber came off and i lost it:-() so bought another...

Its OK for lightly soiled rims...Ive bought both the Long and Shorty and tried both out...heavier caked on wheels will need stiffer bristle brush or longer time for APC to penetrate or stronger cleaner. Bristles are a bit too soft for my personal liking and easily bend (due to length of each) Good for damage-free cleaning but only if the cleaning is light. A bit overpriced (everywhere!). Coated tip and wire are a nice feature but also bend too easily. Maybe a stronger metal and slightly stiffer bristles would be ideal. Nice knuckle guard but painted wooden handle made it feel low-grade. How about some rubber grip-type handle with stiffer wiring and bristles! Jackpot!

I feel the brush is good for light cleaning but doesn't pick up the heavier dirt/brake dust. Bristles are too scarce (not dense enough) in my opinion.

Soft bristles and protected tip will not damage wheels. Length is good for reaching inner barrels of wider wheels. But shaft is too flexible; bends too easily when force is applied to remove wheel grime, even after pretreating with a wheel cleaner. This product is over priced.

By far the easiest most efficient way to clean wheels. For lightly soiled wheels I use this with Meg's APC+ 10:1 and it powers right through them. No more having to take the wheels off to get the insides of them clean as this brush easily reached the back of some 9 inch wide wheels.

Have yet to try with a gel wheel cleaner, but I'm expecting great results as well.

This brush is worth every penny, and gets into every little spot on a wheel.

makes getting in some odd areas a breeze. not very useful on heavy grime because of the soft bristles, but good for a quick once over.

Great accessory to have to clean wheels and hard to reach areas. Bends and flexes to areas you want to clean.
