Detail Dudes Car Detailing Brush Set, 3 Piece

What This Is

The brushes that do not leave marks. Detailing brushes are a category where the cheap ones cost you money, because the metal ferrule on a hardware-store brush will put a scratch in gloss black trim the first time your hand slips.

Boar Hair Versus Synthetic

Synthetic bristles are stiffer and cheaper and fine on a wheel. On an interior, stiff bristles plus pressure is how you put fine scratches into a glossy console or an infotainment screen. Boar hair is soft, holds more product, and lathers when wet so you need less pressure to begin with.

Dry Them Properly

Rinse, shake, and stand them bristle-down. Standing a wet natural-bristle brush upright runs water into the ferrule, which rots the binding and the brush starts shedding into whatever you are cleaning.
