Default Wheel Blush! (not a typo)

well its been a while, wife and I been busy with our new beautiful baby girl. But been browsing around to make sure i stay sharp..actually placed an order the other day from eshine for some things and well as obsesivedetail.

but as I was looking in the bathroom for the baby hair brush from our first child I saw my wife's makeup brush, that she would use to put blush i guess on her face. not sure what its made up of but its very dense and was wondering what you guys think - will it be good for wheels?
Also what is the Swissvax wheel brush made up of and where can i get some.
(based on my last comment above you can tell my wife said NO! i cant use her brush!

here's a pic

Guess you could try it and if it doesn't work, just put it back.

makeup brushes work great on interiors and fine work on the paint.

yup, I use those on interiors as well. Also use it to remove dust from certain exterior trims when necessary.
