Hrm, I had not heard about that (I had heard about ACE Powerstick that Phil sells). I wasn't convinced it was any better than an EZ-Detail brush (which is flexible), until he used it to get into the crevices of the lug nuts, and then to wax the wheels with it.

I still don't think I'll be buying one for $20-$25, especially since I just bought the EZ-Detail, but by the end of the demo video I was a little more impressed than before.

Do you guys wash your wheels last? I do that only when washing with ONR. With a regular wash, IMO you should do the wheels first. Otherwise, you will end up like the guy in the video, getting brake dust splattered all over your just-washed vehicle.

This Bufferstick looks interesting but IMO the EZ Detail Brush probably is the better tool for cleaning wheels. The Bufferstick doesn't look like it reaches any more than the EZ Detail brush would, it's not as long, looks less flexible to get behind stuff, and looks like it splatters the dirt around too much.

The fact that it is attached to a drill going into small spaces is disturbing. Get a nice piece of the metal grinding up against your wheel I'm sure really helps clean the wheel...He actually hit the side of the rim with part of the drill. No good.

Your right. Which is probably why the Ace PowerStick at 16" long is a safer bet.

But man its expensive.
