Detailing brushes

[Jhold87]

I was just curious if there is a detailing brush kit that contains all brushes needed instead of buying separate? I looked in the autogeek store but didn't see a kit.

Brushes used for auto detailing (to me at least) are like brushes for painting. Everyone is going to have their own preference. I don't know of any all encompassing kit, but there is one that AG put together with wheels in mind Wheel Woolie Brush Maintenance Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/wheel-woolie-main-kit.html)

I personally like boars hair brushes for a lot of tasks. I have a bunch in various diameters made by a company called Solo Horton.

That may be a good idea for you to tackle. I don't think I have seen a brush kit at any online or brick and mortar store.

Yeah I may look into that. I think Brody is right though some are really particular about brushes. I

There are not really any all encompassing brush kits. There are just so many different applications.

What particular areas are you looking to clean?

My new favorite interior/exterior brush is a 1" round paint brush with synthetic(polyester I think) bristles. It's soft enough not to scratch yet stiff enough not to be flimsy and cleans well. It also works well for cleaning the outer portion of heater vents.

The one I have is a Zibra 1-Inch Round Trim Paint Brush.

Many people use a one inch boars hair bush like this for similar tasks.

I just picked up these this Wheel Woolies brush kit. They all seem nice and soft and I think the little one will come in handy.

This style is nice for wheel faces.

I like this for lug nut recesses if they are dirty. They are a little stiff though. A gentler way would be to use 1" brush like listed above.

I use this style for spoke clean up.

My favorite carpet cleaning brushes, besides a good old regular medium stiff scrub brush, is a brush like this for getting into all the tight areas around seats to aid while vacuuming. I found mine in a pack at an auto parts store, if I ever find them again i will definitely but more. Both are big tooth brush style and have fairly stiff bristles. One has a very low profile, like a tooth brush and the other has more of bent scrub brush style handle.

These are kinda similar
