I was interested in buying a brush to clean the alloy wheels etc. and came across a Valet Pro brush on ebay. The seller has a listing that says buy one, get one free and this is listed at 6.99 + 2.99 postage to Malta. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130646539306?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

However, after another look around, I found the same brush is sold at 5.99 + 1.99 postage to Malta from the same seller. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Valet-Pro-Professional-Alloy-Wheel-Cleaning-Brush-25mm-Round-Head?item=130646519143&cmd=ViewItem

Isn't this cheating in the sense that this is not really a buy one get one free, and that is fraud advertising. I've mailed the seller and he says that's a different offer for the 'duo' package. It's not about the extra pound that's thrown in but I still think it's unfair advertising. Can this be reported somehow?

I wouldn't moan about a pound extra for a 5.99 brush but I do see that he shouldn't say it's buy 1 get one free when adding a £1 on therefore kinda does go under the false advertising section I guess

definitely not for the extra pound, but these things really do give me the nerves. I'm always looking to give fair and so always expect to get treated fairly. It's just too into me

I agree Steve, these look great for all the little hard to reach areas, little nooks and crannies and/or inside the car, air vents etc

Believe me, these brushes are great, I've got a few and I love them, they do a great job of the wheels too (along with the EZ brush)

I have never used proper brushes for the face of my wheels. I have a wheel brush to get behind the spokes. The one that looks like a xmas tree.

For the face you can't beat a set of value paint brushes from a diy shop. £2.99 and they have been brilliant for 4+years
