Detailing (wax removal) brush?

[integraoligist]

I`m tyring to find the "horse hair" brushes as discribed in the articles... but so far all i`ve been able to find is:

Nylon hair

Boar Hair/Hog Hair



i`m looking to take the Wax/sealent out of cracks and crevises in the body panels...

are these other hairs fine... or should i keep looking to find the Horse hair?



Thanks all!

ah very good.... but why horse hair and not the boar/hog or nylon hairs?



Autopia store sells them 2, but not the horse hair.... odd.

I have a boar`s hair brush for washing my wheels. That`s all it`s used for. For cracks and crevices, I`m able to use an old credit card wrapped in a MF with success.



If you plan to use a hair type tool for crevices, I think boar`s hair will be fine. Personally, I`m a little on edge about using hair tools on my paint.

Many (most) synthetic brushes will mar paint. I do use them to remove dried wax from textured plastic.



Seen plenty of long bristle wash brushes in boar/hog hair but I`ve never seen a short, stiff bristle detailing brush. Short bristle horse hair brushes are pretty common.



The little brushes work great. I always flood the spot with QD to lube the surface and soften up the residue.

well, i`m ordering everything from both the Autopia store and superiorcarcare.net... and neither of them have horse hair anything.



Do Pepboys/Autozone/Walmart have any horse hair brushes, does anyone know?



a CC wraped in MF is a great idea... but i have a few sections that i need to use hiar/bristles to take the wax/sealent out of.

Autopia carries the Meguiar’s Slide Lock Detail Brush (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meg-x-1120.html) and Triple Duty Detail Brush (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meg-x-1130.html).



The Slide Lock Brush appears to be a natural bristle of some kind. Not sure about the Triple but both are designed to be used on auto crevices and trim.



Autopia also carries a 1 inch Round Natural Detail Brush (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mbm-br-15.html) and a Two-Way Mini Detail Brush (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mbm-br-296.html).



Superiorcarcare.net has the Meguiar’s Slide Lock Detail Brush (http://www.superiorcarcare.net/mesllodebr.html), the Two-Way Mini Detail Brush (http://www.superiorcarcare.net/b296.html) and a set that include a horse hair brush (http://www.superiorcarcare.net/pindetbruski.html)
