I just got the Griot's Foam Swabs for Christmas and thought I would share how well the fit the ZHP wheels. Kinda easy to do right now because, my wheels are clean and in the basement for the winter.

1 of the 5 swabs that come in the pack

Below is the link to the Griot's online catalog page if you care to order a set before spring.

Sweet. Do you think they will last a while?

Looks like are 2 bux a piece....so....I would say....if each one lasted maybe 8 washes...it would be worth it.

That would be my concern as well. Let us know how they hold up for you. I would be interested in hooking this up if they last were durable to some extent.

got about 2 years out of the last set. When I got the last ones, I would use them one at a time and had 1 for wash and 1 that I used for wax. As long as they are lubed with soap they are OK. The weak point is the tip so, I'm very careful not to apply pressure in that direction.

That sounds great.
