Default Zymol Wheel brush problem

I've used my wheel brush about 6 times since I got it, and I've found that the white plastic that surrounds the bristles is already starting to crack. Anyone else have this issue? Disappointing to say the least, especially considering I haven't even put this brush to do any 'hard work.'

Interesting... maybe there's warranty on it? Oddly enough, I was asking detailersdomain what the difference was between the Zymol and Swissvax wheel brushes and he said the Swissvax ones last a lot longer.

Anyone else have experiece with these?

Unfortunately the Zymol brushes are notorious for falling apart, I was told by someone at Zymol UK that they are soon to be replacing them with a new model.

Definately try to pick up the Swissvax one instead as they are in a different class.

Yeah I wish I had gotten the Swissvax one. Too bad eShine doesn't sell it. I wonder if Chris will replace this one for me. I've had it since August 22nd, and saw it's first use on the 25th. Starting breaking after the 4th use.

Yes, it's quite disappointing that the Zymol brushes don't hold up well, I too have been using a Zymol brush just for interior and I've done three vehicles so far and it keeps loosing it's hairs and yes the white plastic is already cracked and well looks like it's falling apart.

I too was under the impression that Zymol would re-modify there wheel brushes but they have been saying this for a wile now, I thought it had been done already

I'll stick to my Swissvax brushes

Kaval, to be honest I have not heard feedback yet on this brush until now. By the sounds of it replacing it won't help. Lets see if Zymol does come out with a better brush and when they do I will send it as a replacement instead.

I've had the same luck with these brushes; my first one shed all of its bristles and the second and third aren't far behind. I really need to purchase the Swissvax wheel brush.

This is a proven fact.... The build quality of the Swissvax Wheel Brushes surpasses that of the Zymol's by a million points. I went through 2 of them as well. I've had my Swissvax brush for probably 6-8 months with no sign of wear AT ALL!

Man those Zymol brushes are poorly made.
