How durable is this product? Will it break about after a couple of uses? Will be using it to clean my rims. Has anyone used it for this purpose?

I think it would be too big for rims, it was too big for what I bought it for as well...I wound up buying a cone for what I wanted to do...Other than that I think it will be a nice item, I think it will be durable, but I can't say for sure.

I used this cover on a wheel that is 275/75r16 and had plenty left over to wrap around the back of the tire and cinch tight. I've had it for about 2 years on the back of my jeep and it's just now starting to crack and fade. I put vinal conditioner on it every time after washing and I think that helped with longevity.

I've only had mine for about a year and a half. In that time I've used it probably about 10 times. Other than being a little dirty here and there I can't see any signs of wear and tear on this thing. It's been great!

I use these for many different chores, around the house and the car. They hold lots of water and clean very well. No, I would not use them on car rims, that get so dirty, though I am sure they would clean well. Depends on how often you clean your rims and how dirty they get. Brushing of some sort usually work best on rims. They hold lots of water and I find micro-fiber cleans better than any other rag, but I do agree that cotton, faux chami cloth or real chami, work best for drying.

This Anchor Hocking was very nice to use and take care of but, last week I was washing it with a long soft brush and a corner of the bottom broke. Just a small open hole and of course cracked glass. I was gently washing it very time I used it. Oh well, it worked very well and fit into the frig without any problem. Someday I will buy another one. Thank you for this survey. rlyons4@satx.rr.com

I only used it once. It is very well made. I can't imagine it breaking. It chafed a dead iPod with life to spare.

Nope its able to be used many times but I dont feel as if it will withstand abuse. By that I mean that you need to take multiple passes with this tool and take your time; if you do that the results are first class. It save me from having to machine a very expensive ported cylinder head for a Suzuki dragbike. I hope this helps

I have had no problems with it in car washes.Make sure it is securely mounted with no long bolts with extra threads exposed that may cause a problem. It worked well for me..

I've had mine for about 2 months now and it hasn't cracked. It's great for beginners but I highly recommend getting better bearings, I put Bones Reds on mine and it's great. You also are going to want to fix the trucks because they are off center making it so all but one wheel touches the ground. Once you tune it, it's pretty good.

I'd try it. I have since used it to fabricate a missing dishwasher rack wheel. It has held up to the weight and the heat so far. Clean the area well...mix the product well...and let sit to cure for 12 hours...not sure if it will hold under that kind of pressure .

I only used it for grinding small amounts but I found it did a great job. It comes apart easy for cleaning and did not find it hard to clean.

Mine has survived a minor bump or two when parking. I only use a "touchless" carwash, so I have no experience with the kind you use. I'd say "Give it a try."

I haven't had that issue. As others have posted, I would make a point to grease the rim well or soak it prior to cleaning.

we only used for a few nights. not sure if it's durable for long term use. sorry. it's definitely not flimsy or a piece of junk. it is really thick plastic. with integral pump. just not sure how it would last day after day. for my money, at only 2-30 bucks, it's worth trying. nothing else comes close. nuff said. i sound like an ad.
