Car wash brush (attachment for broom-stick)

Hey guys.

I see all of the detailing shops and dealerships have these. It's like a really soft brush head that screws onto a broomstick.

Does anyone know where I can order one of these brushes or what they are called?

Thanks

Probably a boar's hair brush. Available from a variety of internet sites. Plan on spending $50 to $65 for one, though.

Thanks but I just found this website. It's a brush manufacturer that supplied detailing distributors. I spoke to a very nice woman there who agreed to sell me some.

BTW- For a nice brush with a nice pole, it cost me just under $30 shipped

OK, Let us know how it works. Hopefully it will not micro-mar your paint.

How lazy must one be to have to use one of these on a G coupe?

What brush did you order? All synthethic brushes will micromar or leave fine scratches. They are really only for cleaning the lower areas of the car that have caked on mud or grime, not to wash the whole car

I've used one of these brushes for years. Never scratched the paint. The other weekend my mother decided to use it to sweep the floor... Now I'm afraid to apply it to the car
