Laitner Ergonomic Spoke/Slot Wheel Brush
Product review by Terry Freiberg

The Laitner Brush Company may not be as well known as OXO but this Michigan-based company has been making innovative brushes for over 150 years. Laitner is well known in the automotive aftermarket for their line of auto body and detailing brushes sold under the "Grip-It" trademark.

This Ergonomic Spoke/Slot Wheel Brush features Laitner's signature non-slip, comfort grip handle with a seven inch, twisted wire head wrapped with soft, polypropylene bristles. Polypropylene is resistant to petroleum, solvents, acids and detergents and is not affected by fungus or mildews. A top rubber cap prevents the wire core from scratching brake components.

This brush is designed to clean around individual spokes in wire wheels or the inside of wheel slots that are at least 1/2 inches wide.

Detailing Tip: The narrow slot openings in the Mercedes wheel pictured starts with a 1/2 inch opening that tapers down to 1/4 inch. By using the side of the brush, I can clean the entire inside of the slot. If your vehicle has deep lug nut openings, use the tip of the brush to clean the inside of the opening.

Note: The bristles on my brush were compressed and misshaped from shipping. If you wet the bristles with water and let the brush dry in the sun, the bristles will reform to a nice, round shape.

Overall brush length is 15 inches.
