I am bumping (AKA, re-activating) this thread topic because I need to know more about brushes that my fellow Autopians use for detailing.
I do wish that E-Z Detail Brush, and Speed Master for that matter, would make smaller cone shaped or cylindrical-shaped brushes with bristles at the bottom of them in a ball-or half-sphere at the bottom(think test-tube or bottle brushes) and different tooth-brush-like brushes with their proprietary bristle brush material using a smaller, thinner bristle on some of these requested new-design brushes. Guess I can dream....
One brush I have found that I do use a a lot is this one offered by the Autopia Store:
Vinyl & Leather Scrub Brush
I use it for brushing carpets using Dave Fermani`s brush-and-vacuum technique for vacuuming carpets. Works great. The down-side is the natural bristle material will come out in time and if it is used for scrub brushing with a water-soluble cleaner, the wooden handle will crack over time, especially if left in a bucket of water-and-cleaner solution for extended periods of time. The common sense fix or solution (pun intended) to this "problem" is NOT let it sit in the bucket. I think I`ve gone through three (3) of these types of brushes, so if you consider getting one, buy two (2) at the same time. A back-up brush is cheap.
Question 1:
Does anyone have any experience with this SpeedMaster two brush set that looks like over-sized make-up brushes Or something similar?
Speed Master 2 Piece Interior Brush Set
I see YouTube videos of detailers using this style for shampooing and cleaning interior vinyl and some leather material and just wonder how well they work.
Question 2:
Does anyone use the optional brushes kit available for a Rupes I-Brid mini-polisher for orbital scrub-brush cleaning (I think you need to use it in the orbital mode ONLY) and if so, how well do they work?
(Always been tempted to use the poor-man`s version of this and find a battery-powered machine brush at a rummage/garage/yard sale)
Question 3:
Does anyone use pet hair brushes or pumice stones for pet hair removal during vacuuming and what specific manufacturer`s brush and/or stone are you using??
Question 4:
Does anyone use a flat-bottomed felt material-covered iron-type hand brush for cleaning leather?
These are supposedly "the Bomb" for deep-cleaning softer grained fine leather.
