Work Stuff Detailing Brush Stiff: A Brush for Tough Dirt & Grime
by Reece @ DIThe grime on your car can be relentless, especially in those hard to reach or wheel surfaces. When it comes to tackling the toughest dirt, grime and contamination, a gentle touch or soft bristle brush just won’t cut it. Enter the Work Stuff Detailing Brush Stiff, a brush for tough cleaning jobs.
Stiff Bristles for Serious Cleaning
This brush is not messing around. It features stiff synthetic bristles that are specifically designed to agitate and remove caked-on grime, brake dust, and heavy grease buildup. Whether you are battling baked-in engine bay grime or wrestling with dirty wheels, the Work Stuff Stiff Brush has the muscle you need to get the job done. I chose to use mine during a wheel cleaning and the 40mm size was great for around rim lips, lug nuts, and other tight areas.
Chemical Resistant for Versatile Use
The synthetic bristles of the Work Stuff Stiff Brush are not only built for tough cleaning, but they withstand harsh chemicals. This allows you to use the brush with your favorite degreasers and cleaners without worrying about damage to the bristles. You can use it on tough areas like wheels, or even more durable surfaces around the exterior or even the interior of your vehicle.
Comfortable Grip for Extended Cleaning
Even the toughest cleaning jobs shouldn’t leave your hand feeling fatigued. The Work Stuff Stiff Brush features a comfortable, matte plastic handle that provides a secure grip and reduces fatigue during extended cleaning sessions. It even worked well when wet during the wheel cleaning, making it a great brush for even messy cleanings.
Right Size for Tight Spots
The 40mm size of the Work Stuff Stiff Brush is the largest size, but even though it is large, it can still reach into tight spaces and crevices. This is perfect for cleaning around emblems, between seats, or inside wheel spokes. Work Stuff also offers this brush in a variety of other sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect tool for the job at hand.
Potential Scratches?
It is important to note that due to the stiffness of the bristles, there is a slight risk of scratching delicate surfaces if not used with care. For cleaning soft plastics or interiors with intricate stitching, a softer brush is the better option. However, for heavy duty cleaning tasks (i.e. wheels, engines, etc.) the Work Stuff Stiff Brush is a true champion.
Overall, the Work Stuff Detailing Brush Stiff is a must-have tool for any detailer’s arsenal. The stiff bristles, chemical resistance, and comfortable grip make it ideal for tackling tough cleaning jobs. Just be mindful of using it on delicate surfaces. With a variety of sizes available, you can find the perfect Work Stuff Stiff Brush to conquer any grime monster your car throws your way.
With this stuff brush, is it safe to use on a black glossy wheel? I have the nd Miata BBS black wheel, I did see some people on forum recommended to use soft brush on glossy wheel especially black wheel to avoid causing potential scratch marks on the surface.
Simon – This is a stiffer brush overall, so if there are any concerns from a gentle wheel surface I would opt for a softer option like the Work Stuff Detailing Brush Black.
Mine cracked exactly where/like yours did after about two or three uses. (first picture)
A little bummed out about that. It doesn’t exactly convey durability or quality and looks like maybe a more widespread issue with the big brushes.
While I like the brushes this brand has in its line-up, that fast failure impacts my buying decisions for replacements. It still works but not sure for how long and def a bit disappointed.
Alehandro – I dropped mine and it cracked, so I chalked it up to user error. It is disappointing to hear that you had the issue as well, but so far it has held up well. I will certainly keep an eye on this to see if it causes issues after multiple details.
In full transparency, I dropped mine more than once as well. That’s probably how mine cracked too. By the time I noticed it couldn’t pin down how. It’s going to happen.
It still works well for now, and I love the brand—no issues with the others in the line-up. Just some feedback in case Workstuff is listening đŸ™‚
