Hjulbørster

Hjulbørster, often referred to as wheel brushes, are specialized cleaning tools designed for the intricate surfaces of vehicle wheels. Their primary purpose is to remove brake dust, road grime, dirt, and other contaminants that accumulate on rims and spokes. The design of a hjulbørste typically features a long handle to reach deep into the wheel well and a brush head with bristles that vary in stiffness and material. Some hjulbørster have soft bristles to avoid scratching delicate finishes like chrome or painted wheels, while others may have stiffer bristles for more aggressive cleaning of stubborn dirt on alloy or steel wheels.

The construction of the brush head is crucial for effective wheel cleaning. Many hjulbørster employ a cylindrical shape, allowing them to easily navigate the complex curves and crevices of most wheel designs. Some may also feature specific bristle patterns or materials, such as microfiber or synthetic fibers, to trap and lift dirt efficiently. The handles are usually made of durable plastic or metal and are often ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip during extended cleaning sessions. Using a hjulbørste is an integral part of car detailing, helping to maintain the aesthetic appeal and longevity of vehicle wheels by preventing the buildup of corrosive brake dust. They are often used in conjunction with wheel cleaning solutions and a separate wash mitt for the tire surfaces.
