Brush or pad to wash truck?

**Toro1966** · 07-24-2018, 11:32 PM

Hey all - Just got my new truck and the good ole two bucket method with chenille wash mitt was very difficult. I am a little vertically challenged soit made the top hood rear window, you name it - painful. Are there any good soft brushes or pads I can use on a pole and not scratch the surface. It is a dark blue truck so I definitely don't want to scratch it. Appreciate any advice.

Have you thought about getting a step platform?

Have two of those - to be truthful they are a pain in the butt and still have to make it to the middle of the roof/hood. Was really hoping to get a wash mop with extendable handle. Problem is most get bad reviews. Looking for one that definitely won't scratch and works well.

I have a couple of them myself and yea I hear you... I don’t know of any great brushes or mops but hopefully someone who does chimes in for you.

Griots makes one that AG doesn’t carry. I’m not really sure if mentioning that is against the rules since AG carries griots products but not the wash mop in particular. If it is that’s my bad, and I’ll edit my post.

If you go to YouTube, auto fanatic has a couple videos talking about it. He loves the thing.

I use a really nice MicroFiber mitt that is on an extension pole. I bought it for when we had our van and it works great. I still use it on customer vehicles. No issues.

I'd get a boar's hair wash brush.

Montana Original Boar's Hair Car Wash Brushes is a soft, gentle car wash brush for cars, trucks, SUVs, and boats.

I have a 2500hd Silverado and just bought the triangle brush and highly recommend it. I can only reach about half of the hood so the brush with a telescoping handle is nice for the hood, windshield, and roof.

I think of DIY one with a pole and a mf chenille mitt. The ones I have looked at so far is the chenille strands to few. I want a safe and plush mf when touching the paint. The added weight with a pole stick and the useally mf wash mitt or mf wash pads I use. I think could ad to much pressure from the weight it self. So a chenille mitt I would get a more cussion I think.

One of these mitts. And sow close the hand opening and cut open one of the sides that touch the paint. Get some stretching lace and sow it in the opened cut. And get a pole stick and get the pad to fit in the chenille mitt. Maybe ad some foam on the pad to get a little more cussion to it. And that way also get the added foam over the edge to make it safer if bumping into something.

Would think that it was more options on pole sticks and different mf materials to chose from. And most it would be some high quality ones that are safe to wash with.
