Car Detailing Brushes
A cloth can only reach the surface. Detailing brushes get into air vents, seams, switches, textured plastics and carpet fibres where dust and grime hide. Shop soft detailing brushes for delicate surfaces, stiff brushes for carpets and mats, and pet hair tools for fabric.
Types of Detailing Brush
| Brush | Bristle | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Soft detailing brush | Very soft natural or synthetic | Vents, screen surrounds, switches, badges |
| Leather and upholstery brush | Soft to medium | Leather seats, vinyl and fabric seats |
| Carpet and mat brush | Stiff synthetic | Carpets, mats and boot liners |
| Drill brush | Medium to stiff | Fast carpet and mat agitation |
| Pet hair tool | Rubber or specialised fibre | Removing embedded pet hair from fabric |
How to Clean Car Air Vents
- Brush dry with a soft detailing brush while vacuuming to catch loosened dust.
- Lightly mist interior cleaner onto the brush, not into the vent.
- Work between the louvres, then wipe with a microfibre cloth.
Brush Care
Rinse brushes after use with chemicals, wash them occasionally in warm water with a mild cleaner, and let them dry bristles-down. Keep interior brushes separate from wheel brushes.
Pair With
Use your brushes with interior cleaner, leather cleaner, carpet and upholstery cleaner and a detailing vacuum. For wheels, see wheel brushes.
