Rubber Pet Hair Removal Brush

Brushes don’t really require much maintenance and simply rinsing and then allowing them to dry is best practice after you are done using them. This will prolong the life of the brush and also eliminate transferring dirt from one vehicle to the next. Keeping brushes in water for extended periods of time should be avoided as this will shorten the lifespan of the brush.  

Professional brushes like the ones we carry are meant to withstand several uses and will far outlast the brushes from the auto parts store of other big box stores. Brushes at big box store or auto parts store are generally meant for the average car enthusiast to clean their vehicle with a few times a month and will be consumer grade product. Brushes that we carry are going to be designed for detailers to use on several cars per day for many months or even years depending on the brush and how they are cared for. Professional brushes will cost more up front compared to consumer brushes, but in the long run they will be much more cost efficient for a business. The quality of the brush will also differ and consumer grade brushes won’t typically have as robust of a line-up to use on more delicate or specialized surfaces.

Brushes are a lot like towels when it comes to usage and replacement. They should be cleaned after each use (just a simple rinse and let dry) and the more aggressive you are with them, and the more aggressive the chemicals are that you are using them with, the quicker they will need replaced. Brushes used with degreasers and acids for wheels and engines will need replaced more frequently than brushes used with carwash soap on the body of the vehicle. Brushes that are not rinsed and left in a bucket of water/chemical/dirt all day will need replaced more frequently than brushes that are rinsed and dried properly. Of course the quality of the brush matters as well but whether they are consumer or professional grade, the cleaning and rinsing after each use will prolong the life of the brush!
