Yes, I know that wheel cleaning pads/sponges kind of blur the line/definition of cleaning brushes, BUT they are an important part of the cleaning process, so "Thanks" for including them in this list. I used to have a small grey triangular pad that was a microfiber on one side and a smooth nylon mesh on the other with finger pockets on both sides. It finally wore out completely after 9 years of hard use. I think that one used to be sold by the now out-of-business Top of the Line Detailing Supply. Mine came from Target, of all places from former Autopian contributor Scottwax`s suggestion. I have found a replacement called The AutoSpa Tight Spot Mitt made by Hopkins Manufacturing Corp. in Carson, CA (Yes, I saved the packaging tag just for this purpose; No, I do not post pictures; Sorry!) BUT it is a little too large for its intended purpose of rim spoke and barrel cleaning in my estimation. It is still a good "replacement".
To Mean Green:
WOW!! 35 different brushes. My 10 or so brushes pale in comparison and when non-detailing individuals see my collection, they think WHY do you have so many different brushes? Like good hand and power tools, "there is the right (special) tool for every job".
I will ask this question about pet hair brushes compared to specialized pet hair removal pumice stones and if any Autopian has a preference or comparison to make. I`ve used a hand-worn textured Playtex(Yes, it must be Playtex brand due to there proprietary rubber composition) rubber glove to accomplish this task or a small tampico-bristled (think stiff natural fiber,like Agave stalks, but not animal hair) brush. I dislike sticky tape rollers, but it does work on small hairs, but not so well on long embedded hairs in fabrics or carpets. I end up pulling those out with a tweezers (Yes, OCD`ing at work!)
