Reach every spoke
Microfibre softness in a compact wheel brush
The Squally packs dense, delicate microfibre into a 38cm brush that gets into spaces a standard wheel brush simply can't. Brake dust and fallout come off the rim without a single scratch to polished alloys or ceramic-coated finishes.
Why the Squally
A wheel brush that earns its place in the kit
Four reasons detailers reach for the Squally first.
-
Scratch-free microfibre
Dense, delicate fibres clean rims without marking polished alloys, coatings or powder-coat.
-
High absorbency
The head loads and holds plenty of shampoo or wheel cleaner for fewer re-dips between spokes.
-
Compact reach
At 38cm, the Squally navigates tight multi-spoke designs and small barrels with ease.
-
Comfortable handle
Sponge lining on the grip reduces fatigue when working through a full set of wheels.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces is the Squally safe to use on?
The Squally's dense microfibre head is gentle enough for polished alloys, powder-coated rims, painted wheels and chrome. Avoid using it on bare, uncoated carbon-fibre wheel faces where any abrasive contamination trapped in the fibres could leave marks - rinse the brush thoroughly before each use on sensitive surfaces.
How do I use the Squally correctly?
Pre-rinse the wheel to knock off loose brake dust. Load the Squally with your wheel cleaner or shampoo solution, then work the brush through the spokes, barrel and face with light pressure. Let the product do the heavy lifting. Rinse the brush and wheel thoroughly when done.
Is the Squally suitable for use with dedicated wheel cleaners?
Yes. It works well with pH-neutral shampoos and fallout or iron removers alike. If you are using an aggressive acid-based wheel cleaner, check that product's contact time and rinse the Squally promptly afterwards to protect the fibres.
How does the Squally differ from the Work Stuff Squall?
The Squally is the smaller version of the Squall at 38cm overall length. That shorter, more compact head is specifically designed to reach into tighter spokes, smaller rim barrels and crevices where the full-size Squall becomes awkward to manoeuvre.
Can I use the Squally on brake callipers?
You can, though callipers accumulate heavy baked-on brake dust and heat residue. Rinse the brush well before moving it back to the rim face so you don't transfer any grit from the calliper onto your polished or coated wheel surface.
How do I clean and maintain the Squally after a wash session?
Rinse the brush under clean running water until the water runs clear. Shake out the excess and hang it to air-dry. The microfibre is easy to clean and returns to good condition quickly. Avoid storing it compressed or wet for extended periods, as this can flatten the fibres over time.
Will the Squally scratch ceramic-coated or PPF-wrapped wheels?
The microfibre is delicate and designed to be non-abrasive, making it a good choice for ceramic-coated or PPF-wrapped rims. The key precaution is always rinsing the brush before use so no trapped grit from a previous session can drag across the coated surface.
Can the Squally be used on tyre sidewalls as well?
It can shift surface dirt from a tyre sidewall, but its absorbent microfibre head is optimised for rims rather than rubber. For thorough tyre scrubbing, a stiffer dedicated tyre brush usually works faster. The Squally is best kept to the wheel itself for longevity of the fibres.
