Thanks, HCF. Heh heh, hitting this thread is starting to feel like narcissism

And that presoaking isn`t the half of it! Which brings us to why my BHB-centric stuff won`t be for everybody:
1) inspect (no excess adhesive at the base of the bristles) and CD-test (wet) the new BHB to make sure it`s OK
2) reinspect/retest it regularly and replace it when the flagged bristletips start to wear down
3) don`t press hard enough to bend the bristles over, just use the tips
4) don`t expect it to get *all* the dirt off, just use it for the "big stuff" then follow-up with something else
5) don`t use it to speed things up even though that can be tempting; do small areas
6) don`t use long, sweeping motions (just in case it catches something abrasive and causes marring)
7) minimize such threats by always spraying foamgun output at the point of BHB-to-paint contact
FWIW, the last time I compared a bunch of BHBs the only (regular/big-size) ones that passed muster where from Universal Brush (also sold as the "Montana").
The foamgun helps immensely with the need for (relatively constant) rinsing and flushes away the dirt that the BHB dislodge (especially if you jiggle the BHB while moving it). IME the dirt doesn`t really "migrate up the bristles away from the paint". (Hence my reliance on the foamgun.)
There, if that was helpful then maybe something actually *productive* might`ve come from this group hug
Not that I`m complaining!

It`s *very* gratifying when people like the way I express myself. I seldom put as much time into my posts as I feel I oughta and I`m well aware of how things can, uhm...come across wrong...online.
And yeah, IMO some stuff is best said obliquely
