Review on Chemical Guys Acc_201_Brush_MD Medium Attachment by Dwayne Pore

Raw diamond!

How men clean up! With a drill! I've been looking for better and more efficient ways to clean the bathroom. Basically a sink, bath and shower. I've tried everything: scrubbers, foaming tile bleach, regular tile cleaner, steam, sponges, car scrubbers, bleach tablets, pressure washers, direct bleach, and foam pads. Foam paired with tile bleach did the best job but required a lot of elbow strength. I saw a Clorox clean bathroom on TV and was very interested. It was quite expensive but if it could effortlessly clean my bathroom I would be happy. After checking hundreds of reviews about the device, I made several conclusions.1. Insufficient power (it spins fast, but with some pressure it doesn't spin as fast anymore. Also, the pressure kills the battery faster. So not for heavy bath stains)2. Short battery life (it lasts about 1 hour 40 minutes on a single charge, but if you have 3 bathrooms to clean, there's not much you can do in a day)3. Long charging time (It takes time to charge the battery. Some users say 2 hours or more) 4. The battery is non-replaceable (the battery life is running out, you cannot replace it. You need to buy a new unit). After coming to this conclusion, I thought about creating my own. Maybe I could get a Scrubtastic and run it off an old drill motor and battery. But I thought they only made scrapers for drills. I knew they make Styrofoam nozzles that can be used to polish a car or clean headlights because I saw them at a Walmart car wash. But I've never met a brush. However, I checked eBay to see if they made them and indeed they did! But many sellers on eBay were asking at least $25 each. I might as well buy a mop! But then I came across this ad with great reviews. Also, it was a lot cheaper than eBay listings and Scrubtastic. I decided to give it a try. I can only say wow. This brush gets the job done quickly and with little to no effort. I just had to make an effort to keep the drill steady. At the same time, I think any drill will do, even a cheaper one for $20. However, if you have stubborn stains, consider using a more powerful two-speed drill, preferably one with a grip attachment to keep the drill more stable. I have a cheap Black and Decker that I'm planning to use with this attachment, but haven't used it yet. I used it with a rigid puncher. I had to be very careful because the drill bit was strong enough to eat away the paint in the tub. And the brush was strong enough to withstand abuse! All in all, I had a rusty tub that we used to clean brushes, grout and grout buckets, etc. when renovating our home. Now it's white and bright! I forgot to take a picture before cleaning but this is what the bathroom looked like.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
