Interesting idea, except I don't think the tires are as susceptible to scratches as the paint, so using sheepskin might not be necessary. Not a bad price for a brush though.

I actually use an old sheepskin mitt for my wheels; I don't really get far back to clean but the front surfaces come out fine.

i would use it on the rims, not the tires.

my rims have lots of spokes so cleaning the tiny areas can be a pain sometimes.

the brush looks good, altho shipping costs more than the brush itself.

just wondering if anyone has first hand experiences with it.

chemical guys has a very similar one, and i wouldn't recommend it. it's not long enough to get to the back of the inner barrel, so that kinda makes it hard to work with. it is incredibly soft though

Another suggestion -- I bought an E-Z Detail Brush recently, and I have to say, it's the best thing I've used for cleaning the wheels. I'd read good things here about it, so I thought it would be pretty good, but it was better than I expected -- absolutely terrific for getting deep inside the rims.
