Great prep!
I always enjoy a good detail

I'm highly interested on the Uber Boar's Hair Brush,
any details on it. I've been reading up a lot on it & I'd
like some feedback. Proper usage, and recommended
way of washing with it. Thanks!

Anything to keep the black car swirl free & washed faster.

they work great of course with the proper maintenance as you mentioned.

you have to wash them after each use and hang them to dry them.

you don't use pressure while washing the car. everything else would be the same as using a mitt or sponge.
