Detailing Brush In Depth Review (PICS HEAVY)

[rookiez]

Hi fellow AG members!!


I want to share a good brush that I just purchase from Amazon recently. B)B)


Here it is!! One is boar hair brush (Brown), the other one is pig hair brush (Black)



They came in 3 different sizes and costs me about $20 each set, not bad for 3 brushes imo.












The biggest brush is very huge!! My plan is to use it for seats and interior cleaning, the medium sized ones can be used for exterior and emblems detailing, while the smaller ones will be used for cleaning vents B) Here`s the size comparison to a Salt bottle that some restaurant may uses.



So, let`s start to do lint test on these brushes.
Firsts off, the black brush, looks very nice and very thick, very soft as well, softer than the brown one in my oppinion.



Method of testing is brushing on a piece of clean paper.



Here`s the result!! After about a minute of brushing, here`s the amount of lint, it stopped after the first 10 seconds. Not bad at all! I`m liking the black one so much.



The next one is to test the brown brush with the same test method as well.



Here`s the result, this one lints more than the black ones since it is more brittle, might be actually better at cleaning I guess.



Alright, next test is the most important one, scratch test with a test method of using the brush against the back of a CD. I got 2 brand new CDs that will be used as the "Victim" :dance1



The black brush is now up for the test



Here`s the result, I didn`t see any scratch other than a very very fine scratches because I got curious and tried to stroke it harder than what you`d actually do when detailing emblems. I`m liking the black ones so far!! ^_^



It`s the brown brush turn now. Let`s see! This one is more brittle, so I expect a few scratches when used on a very soft surface like this.





Here`s the result, as expected, it started to scratch as soon as I laid down the third or fourth stroke.



Part 1 Review conclusion:
I found that the pig hair brush (Black) is softer, thicker, and more likable to my skin. It is slightly less brittle than the boar hair brush (Brown), which I believe is made for another purpose. I can see the black brush being used for an exterior job and on emblems or any non-scratch resistant surface (Wood Panels). I found that the boar hair brush (Brown) is more brittle and I believe that it will have more agitation power when being used on cleaning leather seats or scratch resistant surfaces (Soft-touch dashboard). All in all, if I were to buy only 1 set of these brushes, I would buy the pig hair brushes again. I feel that it is more versatile and softer, my skin doesn`t feel irritated at all.


Part 2 will be available in 2 days, feature a C63 AMG Tomorrow will be these brushes vs the C63 AMG!!
Here`s the picture of the car. More will be available on another thread.



This is my very first in-depth review thread. Hopefully this helps and please forgive me for any mistakes or wrongs that I`ve made on this in-depth review -_-

Which size brush is that being compared to the salt bottle?

I'm guessing the hair would really be the same or at the least quite similar

Hi, I think some boars hair brushes do offer better protection again scratching the paint. However, in this case, I found that the pig hairs one does a better job for my needs

Hi, the biggest one. It came in perfect 3 different sizes that meets all my needs for the $20 price tag though. I was recommended to get this brush from a friend of mine. His wood body of the brush is still holding up great after being used for a while. Let's see though, my brushes are gonna be fighting with Optima Power Clean and some Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner 3.0 and that's some tough chemicals!!

I thought the boars hair brushes had to be wet in order to not scratch. When I use a boars hair brush on my wheels I never have scratching, but I let it soak for a few minutes prior to use.

Yes, they looked the same and that's why I decided to take the plunge since the other one is $20 for a whole set

I see, I will try to soak it in a diluted Meg's Gold Car Wash Shampoo to simulate the lubrication I have when washing cars. Thanks Dmb5450!!

Amazon is always cheaper when it comes to brushes that detailing supply stores sell there all bought from wholesalers and then resold for a profit.
