Are detailing brushes worth it?

A sometimes underestimated part of car detailing is the use of the correct tools and accessories, particularly car detailing brushes

Detailing brushes are far more than just basic car wash accessories. They are crucial when attempting to clean hard to reach areas that other tools simply don't clean effectively. 

From gentle brushes that smoothly brush over leather seats or dashboards, through to heavy duty ones that scrub wheels, each plays a big role in achieving great results. Understanding the importance of detailing brushes is big step towards keeping your car in a pristine condition.

Why are detailing brushes important?

Car detailing brushes are designed to gently lift and remove dirt from any surface. The precision cleaning they offer helps achieve great results and preserves your car. Inappropriate cleaning tools will not only fail to reach every part of the area you're attempting to clean, but may also leave behind swirl marks or scratches.

Detailing brushes reach into even the smallest nooks and corners that are typically challenging to keep clean. They remove and prevent the build up of dirt and potentially harmful substances that could corrode or leave permanent damage.
