Detailing Brush No. 8 17mm

Air vents, the gap round a badge, the seam of a steering wheel, the recess in a lug nut. The dirt that stays after a wash lives in places no cloth can reach, and the answer is a brush the right size. Fresso Detailing Brush No. 8 is the smallest in the Fresso set: a 17mm head of soft synthetic bristles on a slim handle, for the tightest spots inside and outside the car.

Why it works

• 17mm head gets into vents, switch surrounds, emblem edges and wheel nut recesses
• Soft synthetic bristles, published by Fresso as safe for precise cleaning of details
• Works dry for dusting or wet with an interior cleaner, wheel cleaner or APC
• Slim handle gives control for fine work around screens and stitching
• Part of a three-size set with the 24mm No. 12 and 30mm No. 16

When to use it

Interior detailing around vents, buttons, gear surrounds and seat stitching; exterior work on badges, grilles, fuel filler recesses and wheel nut holes. Anywhere the No. 12 and No. 16 are too big.

Specification

Straight from us

Buy the three sizes and mark the handles: one set for interior, one for wheels. Synthetic bristles rinse clean and do not hold water like natural hair, so they dry quickly between jobs. The 17mm is the one that lives in the door pocket for vents and the screen bezel.

What it won't do

It will not cover ground — a whole dashboard wants the 30mm No. 16 or the Fresso Soft Touch Brush. It is also not a wheel barrel brush; for spokes and barrels use the Wheel Brush Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe on paintwork?
Yes. Fresso publish the brush as soft synthetic for precise, safe cleaning of details. Rinse it before use so no grit is trapped in the bristles.

Can I use it with wheel cleaner?
Yes, and it is ideal for wheel nut recesses. Rinse the brush straight after use and keep that brush for wheels only.

Which size do I need?
No. 8 (17mm) for vents, badges and switchgear; No. 12 (24mm) for general interior and trim; No. 16 (30mm) for larger areas like door cards and wheel faces.
