Gave her a bath and tested out some new wheel cleaning brushes worked great getting the inside of the rim without pulling the wheels and or chopping up your knuckles lol.

What style of brush? Looks like it does the trick!
It really works pretty good although it’s soft which is good but not good for those caked on brake dust areas you have to work a little harder. Kinda wish I got one with bristles and also bendable to easily get behind the spokes.
I’ll run this kit until it wears out which might be a while as it even comes with an extra slip on mitt. I do like the brush for getting around the lugs nuts works really good.

4 new OEM tires, Dixcel Z pads, and an oil change @ 13.5k miles + 1 track day at Homestead. Front pads had a bit more life, but the rears were pretty worn. Tires were 100% used up.

I also installed the WOT hood stuts last week, super easy to do if you have a rivnut setter (ty, Amazon) and work a treat.

What’s the scoop on them?
How are they better?
i’m going to need some new pads soon
They’re a JDM import that pretty much feels like the OEM pads but with more power when you put your foot in it. They also produce less dust than OEM not a big difference but any bit helps. They do squeak occasionally every time mine squeak I’ve given it one good hard stop and then there’s no noise.
