I have 2 of the original detail Factory Curve balls. I bought 2 of these for $16 each from Aliexpress. Even though they took over a month to get, they were exactly of the same quality.

What do you use that brush for? What’s it great at?

[VISITOR]

^ you can use it for numerous tasks.. clean wheels, door jambs, interior plastics/panels, leather seats, dress tires, etc. cover more area than you would with a small brush...

It's my go to for doors,dash,column and seats. Basically a great interior brush the fits in your palm and covers allot of real estate! Mainly cars that are in good shape.

Cars that are in good shape? So does that mean you use it dry? Or what product do you spray in it to brush?

[DFB]

I've been using this type of brush for tire dressings. Considering the DF version is extremely expensive, especially in Australia, it took me a while to us it for this role. At the end of the day, it was sitting in the cabinet unused, and I really didn't have much use for it elsewhere, probably sacrilegious for such a nice brush.

The best thing about using this brush for tire dressing is that the soft, fine bristles negate the need to do a final knock back wipe with a towel, the brush finishes down so nicely. I would say that its best used with water-based dressings, a thick solvent dressing would be too thick and sticky for this brush. Also, I have found the brush washes out nicely in water, a little APC if you feel the need.

Since then, I have also found these Maxshine versions. On first glance, these look like a DF rip-off, but there is some innovation here. Maxshine offer three versions of this brush, the soft synthetic, a boars or mixed hair brush, and the changeable head version that allows the user to unscrew the bristle head from the handle and swap them out as needed.

The synthetic version works in a similar way to the DF, again, allowing the dressing to be evenly distributed and levels down superbly. I find the synthetic brush is ideal for tires of 40 profile and above, any lower and it tends to drag across the wheel face.

The mixed bristle version is usurpingly soft, way more than you would expect. The bristles are clustered much tighter than the synthetic brush, which would be better suited to low profile 30 and 35 profile tires as shown here in the photos.

Next on my list will be to use the synthetic brush on wheel faces. I typically don't use brushes for interior cleaning.

I use the Curve Ball for interior cleaning. It works great on perforated leather seats.

[Desertnate]

Thanks all for pointing out the options for this type of brush. I've been looking for something to make cleaning leather seats easier, and these look like a great option!

Just P&s Interior or BH Surfex mostly.

Is this the official thread of what is on Ali that is a -direct- copy of a branded item

I've used Ali of stuff like USB Cables, fiber cables...

but most other stuff I've tired is such a turn off. The copy cat Pressure Washer Nozzle Protector is nowhere in the same quality as the OE counterpart. The rubber on the Ali ones are cheap and peel...
I bought a $100 floating center cap.....while I was expecting a lower quality decal sticker like most knockoff, the ones I received wasn't even true to size and it's was about 3/16 small than the base of which it should have been stickered on.

I dunno...in the realm if car stuff, just not playing -rolling the dice- and see if I get a quality product .
It's cheaper for my time....to just buy the stuff I know works and works well stateside.
And support the shops as such

Off topic, I had an issue with a MTM unit. Wasn't expecting much....did not buy from them, I bought it eon's ago when it 1st came out.
They replaced it for me, just because they wanted too.
Can't complain...

Want to try the other attachments to see which one works best. But thought I'd post anyways. Battery was strong through all 4 wheels an didn't seem affected.
