Pricey brush. Soaked it for a few minutes before using. However, on soft Hyundai paint, it left straight-line scratches. Should have done a test spot first. I now only use this brush on SUVs/trucks that I will be machine polishing. Wouldn't recommend this for regular washes on vehicles with soft paint.

My original reason for purchase was to wash the roof of the Outback and save dragging out a little step ladder and eliminate all the hazards and hassles involved with that. I had this conception any brush on a stick is going to be too harsh on the paint but after using it one time, I love it. Holds lots of suds, soft as silk. It does have a smell when drying that reminds me of a dead mouse but I'll gladly put up with that for the shear convenience.

Very soft and gentle on the paint of your vehicle. Excellent product.

When you first hold it, you know you're using a quality tool (it better be for the price!). The base of the brush is nice and heavy, edged with rubber for a good grip and the bristles are long and densely packed. You will lose a couple (and I literally mean like two) bristles the first time you use it, but that's it. I've used this brush a number of times now and couldn't be happier with it. Most places I'd seen online recommended soaking it before you use it - I soak it in one of my buckets filled with water while I clean my wheels and tires (~10-15 mins). Glides over paint effortlessly and quickly - coming from a traditional sheepskin mitt, this brush has cut the time it took to wash my car in half. No scratching at all, and it picks up a ton of soapy sudsy water from the bucket. There are a couple of places this brush can't get into (on my Focus ST, I still have to use a mitt to get the space between the rear spoiler and the top of the hatch window), but that's to be expected. The brush feels custom-designed for use with a grit guard in your rinse bucket - you just lightly press it against the guard and twist to clean the brush. Swish it a little on the way out and shake out any excess water before going back to the soap bucket. When you do this, the results are amazing - I always examine the wash and rinse water as I'm emptying and cleaning out my buckets and the difference between using this brush and the various mitts I've used is unreal. The wash water is practically as clean as it was when I started, while the rinse water has a lot more dirt in it than I was used to seeing. Dirt in the rinse water is dirt that isn't going back into your soap, so thumbs up all around. The only things that you might hold against it are the price and the distinct funk to the bristles that intensifies when it gets wet. This may go away later on, but after four washes it's still hanging around and it's definitely a little weird.

I soaked brush for half hour in my rinse bucket. No scratches held suds and glided across all panels. I am very pleased with results and ease of use. 10" brush fits well in both buckets. Brush reminded me of my Dad`s shaving soap brush I played with a long time ago.

A great tool that takes the drudgery out of washing the car. Along with the Stainless Steel handle I can wash 10 vehicles in the time it use to take me to wash one without getting my hands wet or climbing on a ladder to get the roof which is nice especially during the winter months. The bristles are smoother than a baby behind but still cleans effectively. I love working smarter not harder.

Outstanding cleaning action with a long service life.

I was concerned at the cost but after using the brush to wash our Yukon and Q5 (both Black), my concern vanished. Much, much better than synthetic "soft" brushes. Holds a ton of soapy water, very gentle on the surface and the flexibility of the bristles allows cleaning in all the nooks and crannies. I should have purchased one much sooner.

I used the brush to wash both our vehicles yesterday and it worked great. So far, I think it is worth the price.
