Zymol Horse Hair Brush

I know that this doesn't specifically answer your question as Zymol is not the manufacturer but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. I went on a natural kick a while back and picked up a couple of Sea Sponges and a Boar's Hair Brush.

I almost hesitate to mention the Sea Sponges as the very thought seems to elicit negative responses. I washed them at least a dozen times to get sand out prior to actually using them, they work well. I use the Boar's Hair Brush for rocker panels, wheel arches and anyplace that has a krinkle finish. It works very well on bumpers and around wiper arms.

This is the one I have though, it seems like I paid about $20 less than the stated price.

Well is still good information to know thanks. I will look in to it I might think of an idea of using it somehow. The brush I am looking for is for cleaning alloy rims, is smaller with horse hair brush so it doesn't scratch the rims.

Another great place to buy brushes are janitorial supply stores. You can Google ones in your area. I have two and get a lot of brushes and some cleaning supplies at them.

The one I have locally has some of the strongest chemical based APC I've seen...I have a gallon that I use for wells and likes of that
 
The Montana brand I listed makes quiet a few different shapes and styles of Boar's hair brushes. I was just showing you a for instance and the one I ended up with.

Edit: I just reread your post. I swore you had asked about a Bore's Hair Brush. Sorry for the confusion. AutoGeek also sells Horse Hair Brushes.

While we're on the subject of brushes, is their any kind of brush you can use to put tire dressing on tires? Because I'm having to use a wax pad at work and it's not cutting it...
 
You can find those at glimmerglass detailing. I have two of them. The white part on my cracked so I used electrical tape to fix it. The hair started falling out so I'm going to try Swissvax next.

You can find the angled one at Pakshak.

At my work our detail supplier has some great durable thick foam pad, has like a thick rubber handle for tire dressing. I feel this is better than using a brush all tho i seen it but i am scare of spilling some on the rims and having to clean them again :passout:
 
^^ Well that does seem better, but some of the trucks and suvs I detail have those big bulky tires on them with the huge tread. Oh god I hate them! And when your using a little wax pad it takes forever to hit everything. I was thinking something like this with soft bristles would be perfect

:yikes:Seems pretty weird using that ^^^:lol2: What I do at work when i get those big bulky tires, we have water based solvent tire shine in a spray bottle so i just spray some around it and get it even with the foam pad i told you about and voila one wet shiny fatty tire:yay
 
Aerosol dressing comes in handy when doing aggressive tires or tires with ribbed sidewalks. You can hit all of the difficult areas with the aerosol first and then go over the tire with your regular dressing.

It's not a brush, but I use one of these to apply my water-based tire dressing -

Most water-based tire dressing can be diluted with water (more dressing than water) to allow them to be sprayed on the tire.

I don't see any trucks with the aggressive tread/sidewall patterns, the couple of trucks I do see run a more pavement friendly tire as their worksites, though unpaved, aren't that rugged and they are of the age group that prefers a quieter, smoother ride. I run BFG Radial Long Trail T/As on my personal truck and though it is not a real aggressive sidewall it does take a bit more time than usual to get an even look to the entire sidewall. I use PB's BnB (diluted) and spray the sidewall liberally and use a tire sponge and Scott Blue Towels to get into all the crevices. I think I might pick up an aerosol spray and see if that saves me any time. While I'm not a big fan of aerosols (yeah, I do use SprayWay and Stoner's glass aerosols) for this one vehicle I shouldn't use a whole lot of product.

I swear by the stuff. Aerosol dressing can take an interior to a level that has people scratching their heads trying to figure out how you did it. What I like about it the most is there is nothing it can't reach or cover, and its even coverage. Just like I explained with the tires, the trick is to hit all the tight areas with aerosol then go over everything with the dressing of your choice. Its especially effective on vents. The only downfall is the price of most of it. I personally use Car Brite Inside-Out and its over 7 bucks per can. The way it matches the gloss of the dressing I use, and the fact that its one of the only aerosols that don't leave everything greasy makes it worth the extra money though.

That is true, if you know how to use a spray can and dont overspray the interior panels it will leave a brand new shiny look. :bigups I use aerosol spray cans at my work and they work very well and then milky down leather seats dark color look better:rockon
