    Picked one up at Auto Zone the day after seeing this thread. OMG...what a difference and time saver. Saves me from having to save all my old tooth brushes. The one I got has only 2 "arms" or extensions on it, but did find the 3 extension on on Amazon and will be ordering an extra 1 or 2.

    Kudos to this product...!!!

    Big +1 on this lug nut brush. I picked one up today and my wheels have honestly not been this clean in the entire time I've owned the car. Made a huge difference and what a timesaver. Worth 4 bucks in a big way.

    I could write a book on detailing, but I don't think anyone would want to read threads like:
    Detail tip of the month, getting your frame ready for wax!

    Angry What a rip off

    I found this last week and I never got around to posting it until now. Look at pic one from Amazon.com, and look at the second one from Amazon.ca here in Canada. How can they justify such a price difference? And then we have to pay all the taxes, shipping, exchange rate difference and brokerage fees on top of an outrageous price!!! One of these would end up costing in the $40 range! What a rip off! I dunno if I should be pee'd off with Amazon or with the manufacturer of the brush!

    Your beef is definitely not with Amazon -- the .com product is being sold super-cheap by Amazon retail, while the .ca product is being sold expensive by a 3rd-party retailer listing on Amazon.

    Has anyone tried one of these?

    I confirmed with the manufacturer (drillbrush.com) that it's safe to use on painted wheels. Not sure if this would be effective for cleaning between the fins on the DeLorean wheel or not...

    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....
