Default Best Brush for Washing

OK this is a little bit of a stupid topic or question. But Does anyone use a brush to wash their truck. If so, what brand do you use. If not which brush do you feel will be the best.


This is so I can reach the middle of the roof and windshield.

I don't use a brush. But, I stand on the tire to get the windshield. And I get in the bed to reach the roof.

This is what I do, except I have a 3 step ladder for the windshield. Sucks having T-rex arms......

Luckily I'm 6'3" and have long arms. Or else it would be pretty difficult

I'm 6'2" and still use the stepladder.
Makes life just a tad easier to get the top and the windshield.
The Echo blower removes most of the water and makes drying easier.

No brush for you, you come back one year.

Default Best Brush for Washing

Don't use a brush.


I spent 3 hours paint correcting my bosses black Silverado,about 3 weeks ago. When I was done it looked like a black mirror. Not a swirl to be seen.


He brought it in the shop 2 days ago to wash it. Used a brush... It's totaled in tiny scratches(swirl marks) now


Unless you don't care about that
