Re: da brush

Depends on the bristle materiel. I've used the 'wash broom' technique for
years with excellent results. My 85 ur-q with >205,000 miles on it still
has the factory paint/clearcoat and looks ex. The pro detailer that offered
this advice specializes in high-end and exotic cars and his customers are
totally fanatical. He's been in business for like 20 years in the same
location. He gets up to $300 per detail. This is no low-buck, low-tech
detailing..... I am not sure what the exact correct bristle materiel is, so
I purchase purpose-built car-wash brushes for this work.

Sorry....not flaming you at all, as I'm not one to do that, but......
using
a push-broom will most certainly scuff your clear-coat.  There are only
certain matierials that are acceptable to rub against your paint, and the
fibers used in a broom are not amongst them I fear.  Just like polyester
isn't-- don't dry your car with a towel containing even 1% polyester
fiber!!!

The other day I saw some carwash thugs using a push broom to clean cars and
I
just cringed at the thought of letting one of my babies even near these
hoodlums.
