The choice of brushes in a certain price segment depends only on individual capabilities.

To keep the body paint and leather in the cabin intact while cleaning the car, it is important to use specialized cleaning equipment. Varieties of soft brushes for washing a car in a large assortment are needed just to ensure an individual approach to the processing of each detail.

Types and purpose

Brushes are distinguished by many features, the main of which is the purpose:

• Cleaning hard-to-reach places: narrow openings, dashboard, seams and seat folds. Such brushes look like paint brushes, they are rectangular or rounded in different sizes. They clean leather, plastic, fabrics in the car interior, remove dirt around the emblem and other small parts on the body.
• Cleaning spoked wheels and engine parts. The brush looks like a ruff.
• Body wash — brushes made of synthetic materials. Most of them are equipped with a telescopic handle. Some models can be put on a hose with water supply.
• Glass washing — a soft brush is used to wash the car in the form of a sponge. The working surface is made of foam rubber.
• Cleaning corners — use brushes with a bend. It can be fixed or breakable. In the second case, the platform, colliding with the corner, folds, repeating its shape.

Models are made classic and in the form of gloves. Brushes that are worn on hands do not remove dirt, but only polish already cleaned surfaces to a shine.

What to look for when choosing a soft brush for cars

A soft brush for washing a car should be suitable for specific tasks. An important role in this is played by the size of the fibers and the handle, as well as the materials used in their manufacture.

Bristles

Pile is made from natural and synthetic materials:

• Boar wool is valued for its softness and large size. The length of the pile reaches 8 cm. This is optimal for cleaning surfaces inside the cabin. Boar pile is durable, will not scratch the skin of the car, but does not retain moisture well.
• Horse hair — loses a little to the previous one in softness. Designed for sweeping dust from leather surfaces, panels. When choosing, keep in mind that the hair from the mane is softer than from the tail. Sometimes they are mixed. Manufacturers of luxury detailing accessories indicate this information. Horsehair tangles quickly and is affected by acids and alkalis.
• Tampico is a fiber derived from a South American plant, the agave lechuguilla. Making car wash brushes from this soft raw material is a promising direction. New for the Russian market, the material absorbs moisture well, is resistant to temperature extremes and chemicals. Now they are almost non-existent for sale. The fiber has a polishing effect due to the natural content of the abrasive substance — calcium oxalate. Suitable for cleaning upholstery and carpets. Removes ingrained dirt. Produced in various degrees of hardness.
• Artificial materials — microfiber, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, as well as their combinations. By themselves, synthetic threads are quite rigid and do not absorb water well. The price of branded models in which these shortcomings are eliminated is as high as for analogues from boar hair. Nylon threads easily fight mold, are resistant to chemicals and abrasion.

Natural pile tends to crumble after the first application. When choosing a brush, focus on the length of the villi. It can exceed 5 cm if the equipment is needed to clean the interior and / or body of the car from dirt.

For snow removal, it is important that the bristles are soft, but small — up to 5 cm long.

Manufacturers advertise models of car wash brushes that don’t scratch because they have fluffy tips. In practice, this does not give the desired effect. Soft pile, not even fluffy, and so does not harm the paintwork. It is necessary to evaluate the quality of the bristle, based on the degree of its rigidity and length.

A pen

Brushes can be used for hose nozzles. Then on the handle there will be a special hole for water supply. Some models are equipped with a snow scraper. When buying them, pay attention to the material: plastic or polycarbonate. The second one lasts longer.
