VIKAN Rim brush - wheel brush

Description

The Vikan Rim Brush 325 mm is a professional brush designed for cleaning the less accessible parts of wheels. Thanks to its narrow shape and a diameter of approximately 65 mm, it reaches more easily between the spokes, into the inner barrel of the wheel and into areas where a larger brush is too wide.

The soft natural bristles help loosen dirt gently while holding water and cleaning solution well. This makes the brush suitable both for regular wheel washing and for more detailed cleaning of intricate areas.

Soft natural bristles

For model 525052, Vikan uses soft natural horsehair fibres. Their advantage is gentle contact with the surface and a good ability to hold water and cleaning chemicals while you work.

This makes the brush especially useful where you want to combine effective mechanical cleaning with the gentlest possible contact with the wheel surface.

Ideal between the spokes and inside the wheel

The brush is approximately 325 mm long with a diameter of approximately 65 mm. This format is particularly suitable for:

Key Features

• the space between the spokes
• the inner barrel of the wheel
• the area around the wheel bolts and other intricate spots
• tighter spaces that a large brush cannot reach

Chemical-resistant design

Vikan describes the Rim Brush as a chemical-resistant brush intended for wet cleaning. The handle is protected with nylon, which helps keep the harder internal parts of the brush from touching the surface being cleaned.

The materials include polypropylene, horsehair, PET polyester and zinc. The brush is made in Denmark.

How to use the brush correctly

• Let the wheel cool down before cleaning
• Apply a suitable wheel cleaner to the surface according to the type of soiling and the wheel material
• Wet the brush with water or cleaning solution
• Work gently between the spokes and on the inner parts without applying excessive pressure
• Rinse the brush as needed while working so that coarse dirt does not build up in the bristles
• After cleaning, rinse the wheel thoroughly and rinse the brush with clean water
• Leave the brush to air dry

Suitable for regular and professional use

The brush is designed for regular professional vehicle cleaning. For this range, Vikan highlights its durability in everyday use and its professional application in exterior vehicle cleaning.
