    The brush head is about 10 inches, with the handle, the brush comes to 15 1/2 inches in length.
    First time I have seen them in my AutoZone here. $4.99.
    Soft and bendable. Tip is covered in rubber. Seems very safe to use on wheels.
    Not sure if it's a bargain in your book, but it beats the price of other brushes online....

    Looks like a very nice wheel brush. I may check my local AZ out tomorrow. I am actually using a baby bottle brush to clean my inner rims. Heck for $4.99 how bad could it be....we all are basically guilty of blowing well more than that on products.

    It gets into some tight spots as well. Slipped it though my 1/2 inch box end wrench.

    I havent used the Easy Brush, but have seen it up close. I was actually thinking of buying one, but now we will see how this brush works out for me. If it saves me some on the cost and shipping and works fine, then I will just buy a few more of these. I seen some new MF's at AZ too, though I didn't look too close at them, as I was in hurry. I will have to check them out next time I head that way

    I bought similar brushes from Harbor Freight. They have worked well for me.

    I can't remember but isn't that towel something odd like 85/15?

    That AZ brush looks like a mini EZ one. Bends the same too.

    Yeah, I've noticed a lot of the products that AZ has been selling the past few months. It seems to be rebrands of Carrand and those towels seem to be very similar to what Eurow sells.

    Wheel Detailing Brush This non-scratch, very flexible, E-Z Detail Brush is 18 inches long, 4-1/2 inches in diameter and is super-soft with Nylex bristles, a material that combines the softness of a natural bristle with the strength of nylon. There's a vinyl tip bonded to the top of the brush and a knuckle guard on the handle but the most impressive feature of this brush is the flexible, inner core. This vinyl-coated wire core will bend in every imaginable direction which allows the brush to get into areas where few other brushes can reach. Proper Auto Care- E-Z Detail Brush

    I use that AZ brush. It's terrific. Works just like the EZ brush but $20.00 cheaper.

    Dust 2 Glory, Michael, has/had and EZ brush. It rusted at the handle and broke as well, so it's not just the cheap ones...

    Hmm, I never experienced that issue with my EZ and I've had mine for 3 years. I hope I don't have that issue either, LoL.
