Hmmmm . . . I'm definitely gonna look into a boar's hair brush myself. Cleaning my VS-XX's are a PITA!

from what detailers have told me in the past, horse hair is stiffer than
boar's hair so should not be used on paint. horse hair is usually popular
on brushing dust, etc. off leather.

a couple of weeks ago i washed my GT3's (3pcs wheels) inside of the
rim to rid some of the nasty brake dust. i used my shopvac in blow mode
to get 99% of the water out. worked great.

hahaha. i use a small cordless 115mph one on my car to blow out
the water on the parting lines. not enough power on my 3pc wheels
as there's an area behind the spokes that water collects. that needs
to be blasted out with more like 150mph+
