Folks,
I am just getting back into detailing and I find myself purchasing a lot of stuff. I would like to know how people handle a few things.
I purchased the AG Vinyl and Leather Scrub brush. I used it on my wife's leather with APC+ and it made a huge difference. This is an awesome interior brush. I had a bit of a problem with it; however it was not the products fault. It was totally my fault. After using it I cleaned it with hot water and some dish soap. After that I shook it out and tried to get it as dry as possible. I then placed the brush in a zip lock bag. Well it was not completly dry so 2 days later I was going to use it and found it COVERED in black mold. I took it out and cleaned it the best I could. I also trashed the zip lock bag it was in. I have not decided if I will use this one again or just trash it.
Now I plan on ordering another (because it works great) however I now have other concerns about mold.
So my question is - how do I prevent this (with brushes and applicators)? Do you folks store brushes and applicators wet? Should I wash all applicators after each use? Is it ok to store wax, glaze, etc applicators wet?
Your input is greatly appreciated!
