Which one do you guys recommend?

I'm ready to jump on the bandwagon.........
 
2 Pack Cyclo Polisher Aqua Soft Carpet Brush

I prefer the softer carpet brush for tires. The stiffer tire brushes seem to scratch the rubber. If the tire face is grooved it wouldn't matter.

This beats the hell out of scrubbing tires with a manual brush. It's like polishing by hand vrs. by machine.

Do not get the Velcro brush. The Cyclo brushes are made for a DA, but will fit any drill.
 
If your doing the truck tires i agree with a carpet brush. I have low profiles so needed a little brush. I order one of the many dupicate kits from the big A

The seem to be fine. My tires are a very soft compound and the brush left no scratches

Cleaned then coated.

I bought a Chemical Guys soft brush from the big "A" that will work with my cordless impact driver. I have yet to use it, but was willing to take a gamble on it for ~$10.

I once made a similar tool from a trash can lid I found at Home Depot that fit the wheels of my '97 Pontiac GP GTP like a glove. Screwed a wooden handle on it and it was a breeze to use.

Back then I was using a spray-on tire dressing and it kept the overspray off the wheels perfectly.
 
Heavy-Duty DA Carpet Brush Long Bristles

This one's my favorite. I know it's meant to be a carpet/mat brush but i like 2 things...1. not too stiff on rubber and softer compound tires like it. 2. It's hook and loop attached to my old PC 7336 DA. Easy on , then off and cleaned.

I have 3 of these, 1 for carpets/mats, 1 for tire sidewalls and a 3rd new and still in plastic for whichever one gives up 1st!

$18 well spent IMO.

Very much like RSurfer's suggestion but hook and loop makes it a little faster for me. I hate taking off BP's!
 
Does the PC have enough power to work it for the tires. Thought about doing this but read, think a Mike Phillips, article that said it didn’t have enough umph for that.

Paul,
I can’t seem to settle on having
just one brush attachment.

I was actually looking at that same kit last night Bob.

Thanks, buddy. :)
 
Does that cover really stay on the rim like that? I've been debating on getting one.

It didn’t so well on my 20” on my mustang. Does easily on the camaro 20”...... guess it is wheel dependent.

Even when it didn’t i would hold on with one hand and spray or clean with other. Absolutely love this thing and will always be in my detailing arsenal.

Cool thanks. Would be nice if it hangs on the wheel to free up two hands. I'm tending to gravitate back to aerosol tire dressings (like Griots Satin Shine) but hate getting overspray on wheels.
 
What about gluing a couple (weak) magnets to hold it on?
