Montana Original 10 inch Boar’s Hair Car Wash Brush

[Bert31]

I have never had problems with my Montana Boars Hair Brush.

A long time user of Boars Hair told me the #1 cause of marring with BHB's is if the adhesive which holds the hair to the brush gets on the tips of the hair which is in contact with the paint. It will mar the heck out of your paint. He recommends getting a magnifying glass and thoroughly inspecting the hairs. If a few tips have the adhesive on it, pull those hairs out (use tweezers or pliers I guess). If more than a few, return the brush to where ever you bought it.

He said the #2 cause is when the brush has been used for years and the spliced tips have worn down and are no longer spliced.

So the lesson seems to be, inspect your brush carefully.

On a side note, I agree, BHB's smell pretty bad. Then again, a boar is similar to a pig and pigs smell pretty bad too so I guess it makes sense.

I wanted one of these but after reading this thread I think I'll stick to sponge.

I agree. You will never make me try using a brush on a vehicle's paint surface. It doesn't matter how soft you tell me your bristles are. A brush is a brush LOL!

There are some instances when a pig smells pretty good. Bacon, ham and sausage.

You do bring up a good point. Butchered and cooked pig smell pretty dang good.

Living pig or its shaved hair......not so good.

In regards to those saying that brushes will always mar. I guess the reason my brush does not mar is becauce I apply such little pressure during the wash. My bristles are lightly brushing along the paint, they are not bent over like you see in many pictures of someone using a boars hair brush. Even with such light pressure I still get the paint clean, I just can't praise my boars hair brush enough.
