Hey guys,



Looking for a brush like the ones used in this video from :25-:55s. YouTube - BMW E30 M3 Detailed by Auto Detox Detailing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLjif8EL6A8)



Found some that look like the brush shown but the description says they work well for HVAC vents and other interior jobs...which leads me to believe they may be too soft for scrubbing in the trunk jams and rain gutters. The car I`m detailing sat for ~1.5yrs with a blown engine so it has some nasty grime in the nooks and crannys.



Any suggestions? :)

Check out these Race Glaze brushes they are awesome.

No brush will give you the results. Liberal amount of degreaser and pressure wash or steam.

Brushes that`re soft enough for cleaning a nicely-detailed vehicle without marring usually *are* "too soft" for serious scrubbing. I`d try to let the cleaning product do most of the work rather than rely on harsh mechanical action from the brush. Let something like Power Clean dwell for a while and you might not need to scrub too aggressively.



My Crown Vic sat for at least as long sa the car in question and the white paint was a medium gray everywhere, but I was able to get things clean with minimal scrubbing using Power Clean and FK1119.
