So what is your go to lug nut brush that won't fall apart?
So think speed and durability.
 
Thanks but keeping time in mind, how about 1 of these that will surround the lug and you twist?
 
I use a cheap 88 cent 2 inch paint brush. It's flat enough to get between the lug and rim. Those round dedicated lug brushes are too fat for my application.
 
This does a pretty good job. I bought the extra foam replacements and I don't skimp on changing them out. I would give this tool 7/10 pretty decent bought I think there's something better out there. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this one, but if it works for you that's all that matters.

I have the Carrand one. It hasn't been used a whole lot but has made it through it first summer. I can see it breaking eventually from stressing the metal like a regular spoke brush.

Brissles seem a little stiff though

I used this brush as well. It works, inexpensive and lasted the summer. May stick with it or try a bristle only brush next. Take care.

Peace,

As long as you change out the foam...idk every 20 washes it works great. You also have to use a "screw" motion to engage the foam around each lug nut. But again, I'm keeping an eye out for a better one where I don't have to change out anything

I use an S.M Arnold wheel brush, looks like the mothers wheel brush from the AG store. I use it for the faces of my rim and I hit around the lug nuts with the corner of the brush and it works great. The long bristles get in there really good and I dont need a separate lug nut brush. I can clean the face of the rim and push a little with the same brush and get in the lug nut areas saving time and money because I dont need to buy or switch out 2 different brushes.
 
I use a natural/boars hair, 1" round pastry brush with plastic ferrule. I find it a versatile tool which can be used for other detailing needs as well. (E.g., cleaning along trim, getting into nooks and crannies). I do use a sort of a twisting motion to get the bristles around the lug nuts and into lug nut holes. You can't just press it straight in to get all around a lug nut, as the bristles will bunch up in the middle. It may not be the very fastest but it's versatile and works. It does clean the faces of the lug nuts nicely, at same time as the space around the lug nuts. I feel it good for DIY detailing tool.

I give this one a zero, their are too many lugs it won't fit into, I tossed it.

I use the round brush posted in earlier in this thread, it works quickly and fits into every wheel lug I've come across.
 
Race Glaze brushes! Get the 5 piece set. I purchased 2 years ago, used almost daily, and still going strong!
 
Carrand lug nuts brush works great and is durable. I'm on my 5th thus far #1 was a learning curve. I run a bead of epoxy where there brush and the handle meet. I find the weak point is that the prongs of the brush come loose and tend to come apart. When modified slightly works great and lasts. Great bang for the buck.
