I’m an embarrassment

[Eric H]

I try to be proactive with replacing wear items but this foam brush head is a little too far gone by anyone’s standard.
To be serious, I think a customer used some wheel acid with the brush and destroyed it. I’m completely embarrassed that this was in use at one of my washes.

Now go stand in the corner for 15 minutes.

Sometimes, I don't think I even know you...

Oh, come on! There's still some bristles left. You gots lots more life out of that!

When I see customers using the foam brush to sweep out their truck bed before they start washing it makes me want to leave the brushes like that a little longer, but it's not as entertaining as when they try doing it with a wobble head brush. The whole monkey with a football comment comes to mind!

Now go stand in the corner for 15 minutes.

I think I’m sending myself home for the rest of the day to think about my behavior.

I took this picture in June 2017. A year later he still hadn't replaced any of them. Three were worn this bad. I wouldn't be surprised if he still hasn't replaced them.

I admit that hogs hair brushes may be slightly gentler on the car, but they just don't have the cleaning power of the nylon. You can't bear down as much and really scrub without the bristles flattening out.

And when the customers dry wash the car they get ruined fast.

I've always used Erie Hogs Hair. What are people liking as far as nylon goes? Maybe I'll try

I had several customer complaints about the hogs hair brush being to soft and not cleaning their cars. I tried a nylon brush and haven't had any complaints. So I'm with you on this.

It really depends on the customers and what they're washing. Mine are washing work trucks and vans, many of them will scrub with the brush while another one uses high pressure, so the nice hogs hair is not just pointless, it's getting ruined. My nylon brushes last 2-3 years with this abuse, I've had hogs hair last at best 6 months at a nicer wash.

I'm sticking with hogs hair. Nicer wash in a nicer area. A $50 brush head every six Months is affordable. It's true they don't clean as well, Sometimes in the winter I will use a more aggressive cleaner (a foamy alkaline) as a FB soap.
