What types of brushes do I need for detailing?

It depends on the job. Use soft detailing brushes for interior vents and emblems, medium bristles for wheels and tires, and firm brushes for engine bays or heavy-duty cleaning.

Are detailing brushes safe for paint?

Yes, as long as you choose soft-bristled brushes designed for automotive use. They’re ideal for badges, seams, and tight areas where mitts can’t reach.

How do I keep my brushes in good condition?

Rinse them thoroughly after each use and allow them to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or storing them in closed containers when damp, as that can cause odor or bristle damage.

What’s the difference between natural and synthetic bristles?

Natural bristles are softer and better for delicate surfaces, while synthetic bristles are more durable and chemical-resistant—great for wheels and engine bays.

How often should I replace my detailing brushes?

When the bristles start to fray or lose shape. With proper care, a quality brush set can last for years.
