Show off your detailing brush collections!

I thought it might be cool to look at everyone's brush collections...

Here are mine including some new Megs brushes:

The fine ones are from emmons coachworks and are really well made. As you can see I also have some older toothbrushes I use for removing wax from crevices.

The far right red bristled one is Griots wheel well and wheel brush. Works well. The silver and blue brushes are cheapies from Wall Mart but they do the job. The megs brushes are L-R: Interior, Tire, Detailing with adjustable height plastic collar brushes. On top is the Oxo wash brush.

Here are the lug nut and interior brushes. I have a horsehair Griot's for interioe and a stiffer nylon carpet brush to the right, also Griot's. The lug nut brush on top is a cheapie from Autozone. The four black handled ones are from Griots and have horsehair, nylon, steel, & brass bristles (I use the latter on engine and tough duty chores).

I really like the new Megs brushes, especially the smaller one above which is an adjustable detail brush. The round interior brush works well too at getting dirt out of seat seams. I also use occasionally the Black Magic detailing brush.

I just bought the little black magic red brush on clearance at wallyworld for $1.50. I figure I'll mostly use it to get polish dust out tight spots.

OT, is it normal to wash after polishing to remove residue and dusting from around the car, maybe before LSP?

Thanks,
Steve

How do you like the Wheel Well cleaning brush from Griots?
I have there leather cleaning brush and carpet cleaning brush and love it.

I like the Wheel Well brush - seems like just the right amount of stiffness. The only issue with these brushes is wheel clearance...I find some cars have very narrow top well to tire clearance.

ROTFLMAO

How did you get those new Meg's brushes? The have them in WalMart down where you are?

RIC · 03-13-05, 02:52

LMAO, I think I have a total of 3 detailing brushes one of which is an old toothbrush.

SilverLexus, you must be real serious about detailing, do you enter cars in Concours show events?

I seriously don't use much by way of brushes -- I use either compressed air or water to blow dirt clear of areas, or good 'ol fashioned shop rags and MF towels. Only brushes I use are for tires, wheels, underbody/engine, and carpet. And for the first three categories it's the same brush for all!

Must have been a really S-L-O-W weekend.

Lee,

Where did you buy the Meguiar's brushes? I tend to not use brushes for anything but cleaning wheels but I would like to buy a couple of the Meg's.

Pats300zx · 03-13-05, 04:13

Awesome brush collection. I am really looking forward to trying the new Megs brushes.

It makes me wonder how many toothbrushes you have now....
