Grip-It Power Brush, Product Review
By Jim Pyatt (Tender Rubbing Care)

I'm always looking for new and innovative products. I search the Web, attend detailing expos, and talk with suppliers in order to bring you news of the best products available. I know you are like me: cleaning wheel wells and wheels has always been backbreaking work. You have to get the best cleaner for the job along with quality brushes, and then you have to scrub by hand. To clean this area can take more than 10 minutes for each wheel.
For years, I have been looking for a better way to clean wheels, trying different chemicals and brush combinations to make the job easier. I have finally found simply the best innovation in wheel cleaning in years! It is the Laitner Grip-It Power Brush; with this power brush you can do a better job getting into those nooks and crannies in far less time. Designed to be used with any cordless drill, this brush has over 20,000 supersoft, dirt-gripping bristles. You can run the brush over the back of your hand at full speed, and it actually feels soft. But it has the ability to cut right through the dirt and grime.
When I first received the Laitner Grip-It Power brush last month, I was skeptical. Most brushes don't last long; the bristles wear out in just a couple uses. My assumption was that this brush would last for only a couple of cars. I have been using the Power Brush for well over a month, and it works better now that when new. Now that's a change! I have found the soft bristles become even softer after using them. A brush that gets better with time? Yes, you heard me right: the more you use it, the softer it gets and the better it performs! Now that's what I call an innovation.
I tested the Power Brush with acid-based cleaner to see if it would hold up, and it performed beautifully without damaging the brush at all. I simply put this brush through every conceivable test. Another area we all struggle with is the doorjambs, they are hard to get into and, if not cleaned properly, leave unsightly greasy dirt and grime. I took my newfound friend and fired it up in the doorjambs. Again, I was totally amazed at the results. The jobs for this tool seem to be endless; I have also used it to clean the engine, undercarriage, and seat rails.
OK, I won't go so far as to use it on the body of my precious paint finish. As you know, the clearcoat is very soft and even the slightest rubbing can cause swirls.
This is probably the most glowing review I have ever given, but, as you can tell, I simply love this tool. The Power Brush will be coming to your local auto-parts store and e-stores featuring auto-detailing supplies soon. You will want to be the first in your circle to have one, so keep your eyes open. I will also inform you when the Laitner Grip-It Power Brush becomes available, just as soon as I know.
