Hi All....

Any pros or cons on using pole wash brush?

I have 3 SUV's and the roof is been a pain to wash....




Thanks

One of those types? No thanks. Now a boar brush, maybe.

Montana Original Boar’s Hair Car Wash Brushes is a soft, gentle car wash brush for cars, trucks, SUVs, and boats. (http://www.autogeek.net/boar-s-hair.html)

The wife has a QX56, so I feel your pain.

There's also the autofiber washstik chenille on a stick they don't seem to sell here anymore.

Another vote for boars hair brush though just be sure to soak it 30 mins before use

I use the Boars Hair on the company van and the RV with no problems. I have not let it really soak for more than 5 minutes.

Yes, one is made from boar's hair and the other from hog's hair. :-)

I would probably like this one:

Boar's Hair Car Wash Brush and Telescopic Handle, Long reach car shampoo brush, boar hair bristles (http://www.autogeek.net/montana-original-boars-hair-round-wash-brush-telescopic-handle.html)

While pricey you say "3" SUV's. Buffing out scratches on the roof of just 1 SUV from an inferior "brush" would justify it for me.

I also like Art's idea too.

The absolute worst area for me at 5' 9" to cut, buff and polish is rooves of SUV's. I would easily spend $129 for anything that reduces the chance of frequently needed machine work.

Another vote for the Montana brushes . That's what I use on all suv's and mini vans.

I use a stoners window clean tool inside of a wash mitt :-) for areas that I can't quite reach. You can just get a extendable pole and attach it to your wash mitt etc if you don't trust a brush

That's a pretty ingenious idea using the Stoners triangular head inside the wash mitt. I like it. I'm sure some would need a longer handle but even that much will fit the bill for me. Thanks of the idea. I even have a spare one laying around somewhere.

^ Cool. Glad I gave someone a useful tip :-)
It was from necessity on a mobile job for a big SUV. I'm tall with a long reach and I still couldn't reach the middle of the roof.
