The EZ brush is a really good tool, it will take a beating both from chemical and physical and it will keep on going. I have one and I've had mine since last summer and still going strong. It can splatter but just have to be carefull with it that's all.

As for the finger thingies, not sure I've never used one just yet but I've heard positive feed back on them

Been using it for over 1 year and I like it, no problems at all, but I just ordered the AcePowerstick from Phil.

i just saw it on ebay and they're selling it for $14 + shipping.
I've used mine on 20 or more cars and it's still going strong. I've used it with everything from Megs Wheel Brightner to something as gentle as just soap and water and it stands up to it all. You can get into a lot of areas that an EZ detail brush will not. I just got some wheel sticks from Griots that I'm going to be trying out in the next day or two.

The EZ brush is a really great tool, espceially for deep wheels with wipde gaps between spokes like Porsche wheels. Its good for getting behind claipers too. Im always amazed at how dirty the EZ brush gets after doing 4 dirty wheels but once you rinse it off it goes back to like new shape. Just dont bend it too much thats how I broke mine.

I've been happy with my EZ brush. I have only used it a few times so far, but it has worked well.

As said by others, it does a good job of getting behind calipers, doing the backs of spokes and deep inside of wheels.

We will see how it holds up, but so far I am pleased.

There is a little splatter if you are not careful when using it, but I think that is typical of any brush with this type of design.

Pardon my ignorance, but brushes like the EZ brush and wheel sticks seem good for getting behind spokes and the inside of the wheel, but what about the face of the wheel? Wouldn't you need a brush with a bigger and flatter surface area to efficiently clean the face?
