View Full Version : wash brush cleaning lil_pumpkin 03-03-2004, 10:11 AM Does anyone use a wash brush to clean their ride. I talked to a person who washed black Limo's daily. He would just use a good car wash solution, get a bucket full of suddsy water, dip the brush in and wash the entire car , then rinse and dry. The limo's looked great all the time. This seems like an easy way to keep my XB clean between waxings, Just wondering if anyone else uses this method.

Especially with dark color cars where the light reflects even more thru the clear coat. You WILL see microscopic swirl/scratch marks sooner or later. It is bound to happen. Remember these clear coats are not Polyurethane or the stuff they use on the Hooters tables (u can put a screwdriver to those tables and they wont scratch :o ) These clear coats are very fragile and will scratch with anything. Personally Im being very anal with my xAs paintjob, I want to take care of it like a baby. Ive found the best method is by hand. It may take longer to wash..but the results and the long run will be better. macncheese 03-06-2004, 05:12 AM You guys are misinformed. You can use a brush, it just has to be the right brush. Nearly all manmade fiber will scratch your clearcoat but natural fibers wont. What you need is a boar's hair brush. They're not cheap! http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=66073 -- Cheese yanges 03-06-2004, 05:05 PM You guys are misinformed. You can use a brush, it just has to be the right brush.

Mr_scion 03-06-2004, 06:39 PM most dealerships us brush now macncheese 03-06-2004, 10:47 PM Supposedly there are now some microfibre towels that dont scratch clearcoat and the way to test them is to "wash" a CDR with them. If it scratches the CDR, it'll scratch your clearcoat. Im not speaking from experience on that one, just what I've read! -- Cheese NemoBronsky 03-06-2004, 10:59 PM ... and the way to test them is to "wash" a CDR with them.
