Default Washing Car

Alright, what in the world do you guys use to wash your cars? Not talking about wax/soup or water. The actual tool I guess you could say to use when washing your vehicle. Not trying to maul my paint job. Thanks

Nope. Won't leave the swirls IF you are using a real boar hair, and not one with nylon mixed in. I have a super black and love my brush....

quote from where I got mine...

"Boar's hair is the only natural hair that can keep its shape without falling limp when wet. Other "horse hair" brushes are stiffened with nylon, which, like polyester, can scratch your surface. Manufacturing this brush is very time consuming. First you have to catch and shave a boar! Then each hair is hand collected, lined up with the split ends out and placed into the hard plastic block. The ends are then flagged (splitting the ends again) to make them even softer. The quality and quantity of boar's hair is unsurpassed. Count them! There are over 400 separate bundles of boar's hair set into our block."
