Default Detail Brushes

Can anyone recommend a nice set of interior and exterior detail brushes?

I was at a show last month and the guy next to me had a nice set of wooden handle detail brushes in various sizes. He let me borrow one of them to clean up my engine compartment of the Florida sand that tends to get sucked up off the roads. It was a very nice brush and really did a nice job.

I should have asked him where he bought them, however I forgot. I visited a local auto parts store and bought a set of detail brushes, but they're pretty crappy by comparison. The one I used on the inside for the vents, kept losing the bristles and the larger brush for the exterior is also pretty bad.

I appreciate any tips on brands, where to buy, etc.

Thanks!

I have these:http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ail+brushes.do
I have had them for several years, and they have held up nicely.

We just introduced a few brushes to our line that are great for interior work. Both are premium boars hair, set in a plastic handle with chemical resistant epoxy which means you can use them wet or dry without a metal staple set rusting.

Two sizes to choose from:

1" Diameter http://surfcitygarage.com/scg-profes...-diameter.html
1.25" Diameter http://surfcitygarage.com/scg-profes...-diameter.html

We also of course offer the 10% forum discount and free shipping all summer long when you spend $49 or more.

Many brushes are possible, boars hair is softest for paint specifically.

I like Braun Brushes. They make Wheel Woolies, as well as a detail brush and Horse Hair Wheel Brush.
