    YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

    Only a decade ago I remember when there was just a handful of brushes aimed towards detailer's. I has better luck buying my brushes at janitorial supply houses. I even used brushes designed for dishes etc. I was thinking since there's so many why not show off your trusted and favorite brushes for certain applications? So far all the ones I have do the job some better than others though I find myself always looking for ones that can do it better! For example the interior brushes I had that were safe on all surfaces and leather were a waste of money since they didn't have a handle and and a pain to hold especially when your trying to hurry! So I searched for one with an angled handle and flat soft bristles, but not to soft that they wouldn't work well on the steering wheel grime. Only one I have, and STILL looking to replace it:YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?-brush-jpgAlso use Scrub Ninja's. As for the seats and doors I like this one:YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?-soft-leather-brush-jpg

    Brushes are a last resort for me... The only exception might be tires.

    Every brush I have ever tried will scratch or mar delicate surfaces regardless of their claims otherwise.

    I only have a few brushes. Two for the wheels, a soft one for faces and a long Speedmaster one for the barrels. The others are some small, soft ones. The softest is used to clean around badges and logos on the outside. The other gets used for brushing out bits of crud from around buttons or other seams on the interior.

    Re: YOUR MOST TRUSTY BRUSHES?

    on a bike, there's not much to do with a brush other than a tooth brush....i use it to clean the calipers when the pads are removed....i use it to get into some nooks and crannies underneath and in the front near the oil filter location on a vtwin engine....sometimes if washes aren't cutting the grime that builds up on the underneath of fenders, i hit those with a brush

    I have a bunch, but actually use very few, all depending upon the task(s) at hand. But… if a green CG Wheelie is scratching a rim face, there’s something wrong with the rim, not the brush.

    most all brushes will scratch it's just the severity on how bad & quickly it does it...
