Review: Montana 10" Boars Hair Brush - Does It Scratch?

[Kappy]

I do a no rinse wash so I don't have any car wash soap handy. Can the Boar's Hair brushes be soaked in something like Dawn and warm water, then rinsed before using, or would that not be good for the brush?

I use BH brush to clean leather. Might it be better to soak that first and then clean it?

No. I haven't been using it on most of the BMW's paint. Only reason is it seems a bit to big for a car with such small panels (M Roadster), plus I bought a Wookies Fist to use just for that car only. But, I do use it on the convertible top, all glass, and the painted A pillars on that car (everywhere above hood-line). I also use Boar's Hair "paint brushes" on various areas of that car without issues.

Well, you use it on your painted A pillars on your BMW, so I assume you deem it safe if you used it on the entire car. Again, thanks again for the stellar review. Makes my decision to purchase one a lot easier.

So then would it be ideal to maybe keep it submerged in a bucket of water 24/7 or would that maybe cause premature failure of the brush? Since most people's downfall seem to be that they don't let it soak long enough this would surely eliminate that issue, but probably bring about a dozen more.

Just thinking out loud... Thanks for the review!

been using a boars hair for years but i seem to try every mitt too. still like and trust the boars hair the best. i find that i need to pay a little bit more attention to swiping the panels with it because if i am careless i dont get all the dirt off. but after maybe 500 washes this old man can say it doesnt scratch.

Someone PM'ed me about using it with a rinseless wash (via 2BM likely). Anyone try this? I'm pretty much GDWM.

I have this brush and had a good experience the first time I used it. I did get a bad result the second time I washed. I soap gunned the car and ussualy spray off the residue. This time I didn't and now have swirls all over. I'm betting it was the heaver dirt that I didn't ussualy spray off before i used the brush to do the final clean. Anyone see this before? I.e. not spraying after a foam and just going right to the brush? I'm thinking that was my mistake.

Two questions..,
1). Do you soak them for 30 minutes before using.
2). Any feedback from any one with black soft paint?

Use the brush today, as always on my Pathfinder. :noswirls:

Dunno if you would consider it "soft", but this is my 13yo Nissan (original paint) only washed with this brush.
