I imagine, this is also the bestfriend of the CSL, have you used this? will it hold up to numerous washes? Many brushes I've tried like this usually wear out after a few washes...

i HATE brushes like this with metal on them.. i have scratched wheels in the past esp with the twist metal rod style.. just to dangerous.. i use a Swissvax wheel brush and i LOVE it!!! that brush is in the same style as the zymol Brush but the zymol brush breaks after doing your car 5 times or less.. the Swissvax brush i have heard can do over 100 cars.. i will say it is by far the safest best wheel brush i have ever used!!! every Swissvax product i have ever tried i LOVE and i have a master kit and more that aren't even in the master kit are on the way including Paul's new Crystal Rock Wax!!!!! should be here by next week i hope!!!

As long as you soak it in water after using it, agitate it a bit and keep it somewhere to let it dry without the bristles being mashed, you should be fine and it should hold up fine too.

The swissvax wheel brush is hard to get into the inner parts, and this does a good job of doing so. Also, I believe the middle part is more rubbery than metal because this brush bends pretty far!

It's expensive. It splatters. It works. I just ordered one too. A LOT of detailers use this brush for their jobs and on their own cars, so I think it's safe to trust it.

Crstal is cheaper, but has a higher NUBA level. If you talk to the right people you can get it for around $900 or less..
