Best carwash brush that won’t scratch the paint (pickup truck)
Hi,
I finally got to wash my new truck yesterday and it was a challenge doing the roof and hood with a mitt. I’ve never used a wash brush and was wondering does any company make something that won’t scratch my new paint.
the cost doesn’t concern me being it’s a $80k truck, I just can’t keep using a broom handle attached to my mitt
thanks🙂

Griot's Garage sells an entire handle/extension/brush combo

I have the same problem washing my lifted FJ Cruiser. I have both a work platform to stand on, and a wash mitt on an extend able pole, like the one below. This is from a site here in Australia, but there will be something similar over there. I'd steer clear of brushes, the mitts are much better, and you can get refills.

I've had mine over 5 years, the thread on the end of the extension pole broke off, I then realised it's the same thread on paint rollers, so I bought a replacement pole for less than $10. I can't get fitted replacement mitts for it any more either, so I just put a normal noodle mitt over the end, works just fine.

I use the Griots combo on my truck, my truck only cost $60k so hopefully works on yours

I need something a little more substantial, I'm 120kg.

I was thinking something like this
Adam's Polishes Truck Brush And Pole Washing Accessory For Trucks
I’m just not 100% sure will it scratch my hood or roof, the other item you guys showed me looks like a duster.

Check out the Griot's wash mop mentioned above.
It uses removable Microfiber heads.
I love mine. Still going strong on season 5........
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
