YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

[DanaDetailingPros]

Only a decade ago I remember when there was just a handful of brushes aimed towards detailer's. I has better luck buying my brushes at janitorial supply houses. I even used brushes designed for dishes etc. I was thinking since there's so many why not show off your trusted and favorite brushes for certain applications? So far all the ones I have do the job some better than others though I find myself always looking for ones that can do it better! For example the interior brushes I had that were safe on all surfaces and leather were a waste of money since they didn't have a handle and and a pain to hold especially when your trying to hurry! So I searched for one with an angled handle and flat soft bristles, but not to soft that they wouldn't work well on the steering wheel grime. Only one I have, and STILL looking to replace it:76026Also use Scrub Ninja's. As for the seats and doors I like this one:76027

I Didn't have a good rubber floor liners brush and I just bought this one and love it!76028
Wheels:7602976030 76032

Tires I'm not thrilled and could still use a better one:76031 76033

Tire dressing:760347603276035 Lug nuts finally found a perfect one!76036

A tool wrap is a perfect way to hold the brushes:76044

I have new interior mitts coming I ordered from black Friday and I see a shifting market from

interior brushes moving towards mitts and I think that makes allot of sense. LET'S SEE YOUR BABIES!!!

Brushes are a last resort for me... The only exception might be tires.

Every brush I have ever tried will scratch or mar delicate surfaces regardless of their claims otherwise.

I only have a few brushes. Two for the wheels, a soft one for faces and a long Speedmaster one for the barrels. The others are some small, soft ones. The softest is used to clean around badges and logos on the outside. The other gets used for brushing out bits of crud from around buttons or other seams on the interior.

on a bike, there's not much to do with a brush other than a tooth brush....i use it to clean the calipers when the pads are removed....i use it to get into some nooks and crannies underneath and in the front near the oil filter location on a vtwin engine....sometimes if washes aren't cutting the grime that builds up on the underneath of fenders, i hit those with a brush

Woolies for the barrels

[SameGuy]

I have a bunch, but actually use very few, all depending upon the task(s) at hand. But… if a green CG Wheelie is scratching a rim face, there’s something wrong with the rim, not the brush.

:iagree: most all brushes will scratch it's just the severity on how bad & quickly it does it...

Speed Master Wheel Mitt (https://www.autogeek.net/dsm-black-red-wheel-mitt.html)

The Speed Master Wheel Mitt is similar to the wash mitt you know and love but designed for wheels. With a deep, plush nap, the Speed Master Wheel Mitt traps contaminants into its fibers and way from your wheels. The Speed Master Wheel Mitt is smaller than your typical mitt so that you can move around all sorts of crevices of the wheel, allowing for maximum dexterity.

I think the powder coat on rims is tougher than y’all are making it out to be. Sure, I don’t disagree that you should go with the gentlest product that does the job, but sometimes you just need more fire power. FWIW, I use (and love using) the super-gentle Microfiber Madness Incredibrush, which is perfect for garage queens and babied drivers that get a lot of attention and upkeep. But 19 out of 20 cars I see are usually very neglected (by our standards), many not getting more than automated car washes a few times a year. Caked on brake dust laughs in the face of Wheel Woolies and Microfiber Madness mops. And forget about cleaning a dirty tire with anything but a stiff brush.

I grabbed a few of these on Black Friday:76038 for cleaner interiors

I use these for rims on rinseless:76039

Nicely put Buddy! Not to mention 1 out of 20 interior jobs might not need a brush to remove steering wheel and shifter crud! (BRUSH)
Cracks where the moldings meet, and buttons have tons of dust and almost looks like sand (BRUSH)
Door panels with arm rest that again have tons of arm sludge caked (BRUSH)
Panels in general with black shoe marks at bottom (BRUSH)
Seat belt straps with Makeup on them and what ever else (Brush)
Carpet(Brush)
Engine(Brushes)
I could go on but you get it. If your a garage queen and take your shoes off before getting in the car and drive with gloves than just don't comment. I want the detailer's that have to deal with this crap everyday to maybe show off a great brush they love! That's all. I'm not concerned my brush is going to scratch a rim. Serious???
