Are you an auto-detailing perfectionist? Then you’ll want to invest in a set of specialized car detailing brushes.
If you’re passionate about keeping your vehicle’s cabin clean, you won’t be satisfied with just one or two brushes. Instead, it’s all about having access to an entire collection to ensure you have the right tool for various spaces and surfaces throughout your car—inside and out.
Pet Hair Removal Brush
Removing pet hair is a painstaking process. While there are numerous hacks to rid your seats and carpet of Fido’s fluff, a specialized pet hair removal brush makes quick work of it. The Chemical Guys Rubber Pet Hair Removal Brush relies on static electricity to gently lift pet hair from upholstery, carpeting, and other fabrics.
Boar’s Hair Dash and Vent Brush
An interior isn’t clean until all the nooks and crannies are devoid of dust. Inexpensive disposable foam paint brushes work well on vents, but they can’t get into the tightest spaces. However, with a specialized boar’s hair dash and vent brush, you’ll be able to reach behind the knobs and switches and into all of the crevasses and grooves.
Upholstery and Carpet Brush
Cleaning cloth upholstery and carpet commonly employs bristle brushes. But you should use them cautiously. Stiff bristles can damage the fabric. Mothers recommend that its Carpet & Upholstery Brush get frequently rinsed when used with a quality cleaning fluid. Never use a dry stiff bristle brush on upholstery.
Long Bristle Horsehair Leather Cleaning Brush
Leather upholstery requires extra care. When used gently with the proper cleaning solution, a long-bristle horsehair leather cleaning brush loosens and lifts dirt and stains without damaging the leather surface. Horsehair brushes are also helpful for cleaning convertible tops.
Power Drill Brush
Power drill brushes save tons of time and work well for a range of tasks. But with three stiffness levels, it’s crucial to select the right brush for the job. Upholstery cleaning requires a soft bristle drill brush. Soiled carpet calls for a medium bristle power drill brush. A stiff bristle drill brush gets the nod for rubber floor mats and tire sidewalls. Always use these powerful detailing tools with extreme caution.
Microfiber Brushes and Mops
Microfiber wash mitts are fantastic, but sometimes you need more reach. That’s where long-handle microfiber mops shine. Microfiber mops make cleaning a large truck, van, or SUV a snap. When used with an extension pole, the mop-like microfiber head reaches across roofs and hoods.
Wheel Detailing Brush
Whether you’re rolling with OEM wheels or a sweet set of aftermarket alloys, a specialized wheel detailing brush removes the grunge and protects the finish. Tapered designs allow the brush to fit into the tightest spaces and reach around the spokes.
Good Ol’ Scrub Brush
A detailing job should result in squeaky-clean wheel wells. While a pressure washer makes quick work of the task, wheel wells caked in mud require more effort. That’s when it’s time to whip out the heavy-duty cleaning tools. Scrub brushes are the roughest and toughest of the bunch. That’s a good thing. But remember: the stiffer the bristle, the more chance for disaster.
