Boars hair brush, good or bad?

**sqeekykleen** · 08-30-2009, 03:01 PM

I've been using the boars hair brush to clean my Dodge 4x4 truck and have never had a problem with scratches. It sure does save my back, cleans up really easy also.

Mike that'd be hard for me to come over LOL. I'm on tour pretty much 11 months out of the year. Currently with Chimaira and Hatebreed for about 3 more days, month off, and then with Mastadon and Dethklok. I believe we'll be in the area though, if so, I'll hook it up!

As for cool guitars my guitar tech just found about a week ago a 25 year old Dean Custom Freddy Krueger guitar. Got it for 100 bucks. I'm friends with the owner of the company and he hasn't seen one of those in 20 years, offered him a grand on the spot HA!

If I get that new car this year, I will stop by for a long weekend.

nice! metal FTW! i feel bad because i havent cleaned any of my guitars in a long time as well. i know its horrible but i end up going to the washateria and using the brushes there. its raelly hard to wash my car in the drive because of the extreme heat. all the soap just dries up on the car.

Black, I find that using a good pre-wax cleaner type product like the Wolfgang paintwork polish enhancer or something else along those lines, works great for cleaning. Then I usually top with DGPS.

Anyways, back on topic, sorry for the threadjack.

Anyone have experience with a boars bristle brush and a no-rinse product?

Would make life easier here in socal, especially with the soot from today's massive forest fires. Daily washing is needed to avoid paint damage.

Maybe this question applies to summer rains in Florida that I recall from the '70's as well.

Just to note,

If the ashes land on your car's paint and then become wet with moisture, (Sprinkler goes off, Dew at night, light rain, etc., the ash will become a strong pH alkaline mixture and can actually eat holes into your car's paint.

Lots of people know about or talk about Acid Rain Spots, but fire ash can cause Alkaline Rain Spots, so do whatever it takes to get the ash off your car.

See this article,
What it means to remove swirls, scratches and water spots out of automotive clear coats

Also the ash can and will be very scratching to the paint, so be-careful washing or wiping it off.
