Exterior detailing brushes get into the places a wash mitt can't: wheels, tires, emblems, grilles, and fender wells. We carry brushes from Detail Factory and The Rag Company, from ultra-soft bristles that are safe on paint to stiff ones built for scrubbing tires.
How to choose the right exterior brush
- Wheel and tire brushes: the ProGrip Wheel Face Brush, Wheel Brush Kit, and Wheel Brush Mini for wheels, the ProGrip Tire Brush for scrubbing tires, and the ProGrip Fender Well Brush for wheel wells. See all wheel and tire brushes.
- Paint-safe brushes: the Soft Grip Wheel and Body Brush has extremely soft flagged bristles that are safe on paint, so it works on grilles, emblems, door jambs, and textured trim.
- Detailing brushes: ultra-soft Synthetic, TriGrip, and Curveball XL brushes for emblems and tight crevices. Boar hair brushes are the heavy-duty option for engine bays, calipers, exhaust tips, and wheels.
- Ultra Utility Brush: our one brush to do it all, with soft flagged-tip nylon bristles and a wooden grip. Use it with an all-purpose, wheel, or interior cleaner.
- Mitt on a Stick Pro+: a microfiber wash mitt on a pole, with a head that locks at multiple angles, for washing trucks, RVs, and other tall vehicles.
- Moto brushes: a curved tire brush, chain cleaning brush, and sprocket cleaning set built for motorcycles, ATVs, and bicycles.
