I'm looking for a car wash brush that connect on a stick for easy brushing on the roof of a car. I was looking this Griots brush, but I heard they don't really have products that make the jobs done well. Something like this..., maybe this one might be good.

What kind brush that is safe for car paint, without worrying about fine scratch?

 

Sorry, but I would never use any sort of brush on a car, I don't care how soft or safe the bristles are.

Using a brush is just begging for swirls and scratches. You can only keep them so clean for so long you know, it's not neccessarily the bristles that do the scratching, but the dirt particles that get attached to them.

Then just plain out microfiber towel?

Really about the brush? My brush did some fine scratch on a car, but I thought it wasn't maintain the brush right. Like use it, and leave it with out rinse of until next use, then rinse.

 

Oops, you accidentally thought about using a brush on paint. Stick with a nice microfiber towel and you'll be in much better shape.

Use a ladder

 

yea... ladders are cool... So you guys don't use the brush at all? Even if it's for car wash?

 

I have used the body brush that Meguiars used to make as well as the OXO one that Autopia sells. The Meguiars one is really nice. While they are no longer making them, you can still find them at some Smart and Finals.

 

I use a step ladder from lowes, http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...MP6&lpage=none , and a soft 100% sheepskin wash mitt. No substitute for quality and job done right.

 

Once I got all the microscratches off my Midnight Blue tt, I paid extra attention to the outcome of using a Griotts boar bristle brush. The result is, no new microscratches! Thanks to this forum, I'm now using a separate rinse bucket. If the car is really dirty, I'll do each panel twice, the first time using almost zero pressure and only making a couple of passes before rinsing, and then a second time to make sure I covered every square inch.

I like the brush because it's impossible to apply too much pressure, which I'm sure I was doing with the mitt I used to use. I also think the brush is *less* likely to drag trapped dirt across the paint than a mitt, at least in the hands of an amateur like me. Between passes I can rinse it in the rinse bucket, then run the bristles back and forth across my fingers to twang remaining dirt off of them. Then dunk it in the wash bucket.

To each his own!

As long as you're happy with the results and are proud, you cannot go wrong with what you're using and doing. Perfection is a relative term and can be described in many ways by even more people. Thanks for your input on the Boar's Hair brush. I'll have to give it a try.

 

I do know a few guys that only use boars hair brushes, (many of them) for washing stictly, and after my thorough analysis, if used properly you can use high grade boars hair only for washing without inducing much marring, at least no more than any other wash instument.
