Do you often work with the car and do you like to replace the parts yourself? Then it is useful to have brushes in the workshop. For example, do you have worn or squeaky brakes? Or are parts contaminated or corroded? Then a steel or brass brush is the solution. These brushes have strong steel wires and are therefore ideal for cleaning or sanding car parts such as brake discs, brake pads or wheel hubs. Do you own a classic car? Then you probably suffer from rust on body parts. Steel brushes can also offer the solution here.
Types of brushes
The steel and brass brushes are available in many different versions. These brushes are very useful when polishing surfaces, derusting parts or removing stubborn dirt or paint. It is important to use the right brush for the right purposes. Below we will explain a number of them for you. This way you can determine which brush is most suitable for your job.
Manual wire brushes are used by hand and look about the same as a normal sweeper brush. However, these wire brushes are made much more powerful with steel wires. With these steel wires, rust and dirt can be removed from iron and steel.
Brass brushes resemble wire brushes but have brass wires instead of steel. These brushes are mainly used in places that must remain free of sparks as much as possible. Sonic's brake calliper brushes are a good example of these brass brushes.
Don't feel like doing everything by hand? We get that. Thoroughly removing rust or stubborn dirt can be quite intensive. That is why there are brushes that are made for mounting on a machine or the drill. bowl brushes, radial brushes, tube brushes and dish brushes are very suitable for this. Always wear good protective clothing when using the wire brushes on a machine.
