How to Restore Your Nasties Dirtiest Brush

[swanicyouth]

I came up with a way to clean the worse tar type dirt & crud off wheel brushes or fender brushes. It works pretty well. You will need a few things

1. A dirty brush
2. Goo Gone
3. A Grit Guard
4. Running Water
5. APC

I got a new Chemical Guys fender brush. I like this brush because of the extreme angle on the head. However, any time you scrub wheel wells, your brush will get dirty with grime. If I was a pro, I wouldn't worry about such non sense. But being a hobbyist, I like to keep my stuff clean. I am kind of obsessed with keeping brushes, applicators, pads, etc... clean as new.

The brush (it was already cleaned with Grime Reaper - you can see its still pretty dirty):







First spray the brush face with Goo Gone:



Then, let the brush sit 5 minutes. Then, scrub the brush vigorously a few minutes on the Grit Guard.



Then, rinse the brush. You will need to repeat the above steps using your APC to get the Goo Gone out of the brush.:



The finished product:









Try it to restore your brushes, it works!
