Can a car wash brush or squeegee scratch my vehicle?
Yes, it’s possible for a car brush or wash brush to scratch your vehicle with two main factors involved: the abrasiveness and stiffness of the car cleaning brush bristles, paired with the pre-cleaning care. Squeegees can come with a rough or hard blade, which need to be used with extra care. To avoid any chips to your car’s paint, opt for a car wash brush with gentle, soft bristles or a squeegee with a flexible blade.
What type of brush or squeegee should I choose?
Depending on your cleaning needs and personal preferences, soft-bristled brushes and sponges are great for all-purpose use. Beyond general cleaning and washing, an automotive squeegee can help you avoid spots and streaks when removing excess water from the surface of your car. There are also more great features to look out for including:
· Extendable handles
· Microfibre pads
· Multi-sided brush
· Comfort grip handles
How should I use a brush or squeegee?
