Default Anyone use the Ace Powerstick Rim Cleaner???

We are looking at adding these to our site but before we bought in I was looking for some feedback on them.

Anyone use the Ace Powerstick Rim Cleaning device?

Is this something you guys would be interested in?



The Ace PowerStick is designed to be used with a cordless drill (not included). Simply insert the PowerStick into the drill, dip the PowerStick into a bucket of soapy water, apply the super-soft fabric to the wheel surface, engage the drill and allow the friction of the PowerStick’s super-soft cloth to gently scrub away any brake dust and debris, clear to the back of the wheel. If your wheels are super dirty, you may use your favorite wheel cleaning chemicals with the PowerStick. The PowerStick will not fade or corrode when used with any brand of wheel cleaner. When you finished using it, just rinse it off in a bucket of soapy water, that’s it!

As always, Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ken,

If this will fit in the narrow opening of the GT split "V" wheels, then it would be a no-brainer for me! That narrow opening is a bugger to keep clean. What I've been doing is wrapping a thin shop towel around a small dowel to get in there.

I'm gonna go with NO. I've seen it used before but good old fashion way works for me. I think i saw it on BullRun the other night.

Thanks Kelsey!

They have a bunch of sizes I'll have to get those specs from them.

Appreciate the feedback.

I might. IF it will clean the brake dust etc. from the inside of my rims. It's tough to get to the backside.

I'd only use it if there were spots of my wheel that I have a hard time getting by hand, other than that I wouldn't use it.

They are sending me one now so when it gets here I'll give it a try and see what happens!

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Looks like a good idea. I'd try it. I try not to disturb the brake dust on the inside of the wheel or it looks bad. I can't get it all so it just shows up more.
