Foam brush heads

[Main Street Carwash]

Do you guys replace the whole heads when they wear out or install a refill? Also, what kind of fb heads do you use?

 

[water guy]

Just got some from Windtrax. I replace the whole thing.I notice the middle always wears out first.

Do you use hog hair or nylon?

Whole Brush - Erie Hogs Hair.

 

[OurTown]

Erie hog's hair for us. What length do you guys buy? We bought the 4 1/2" and it being hogs hair seemed too flimsy to clean very well. When new the hair is so long it just folds over. Next time we might try 4".

I do the whole brush with Erie hog hair too. I usually put the long bristle heads on and they seem to do better than the short bristle.

Clean better or last longer?

I use Erie Hog's Hair long but not the longest choice. Done both whole & just refill. Lately the price difference is so little that we have been doing whole.

Question: If your competition is using the cheapest nylon brushes ... how do you educate or advertise to your customers that you have better & safer brushes than the nylon??? Sometimes by the time you wait for the customers to figure it out on their own ... they have become habitual users of your competition without them being aware of the difference in quality ....

They seem to last longer due to the longer bristles. Cleaning seems to have no discernible difference to me. We used to have signs for the hog's hair brushes advertising how they are the softest brushes made or something to that effect but I cannot seem to find those anymore.

Erie hogs hair. It only saves a few dollars to change just the refill so I change the whole head.

If I had a wash where the brushes were abused I'd go with nylon.

These are the ones we have:

I just can't do nylon

 

[Main Street Carwash]

I replace heads a lot but they get a lot of use.

 

[Main Street Carwash]

Yes, OurTown, those are the ones. I don't know why I couldn't find them.

 

[DiamondWash]

I replace the whole head and I only use Hog's hair.

 

[Ghetto Wash]

I use hogs hair.

When the bristles wear out, I remove the back and save it. When someone runs over a brush and breaks it, I remove the bristles and save them. Put the two together and I have a new brush for free.

 

[water guy]

I use the Hog Hair from Windtrax

 

[I.B. Washincars]

Am I the only one that uses round brushes?

I started using these after reading a suggestion on here for them:

Last longer than the Erie Hogs Hair and at 1/3 the price.
