Do any of youse guyses use a brush to clean around your badges and stuff? If yes, what do you use? I was looking at artist paint brushes, but those are expensive.

Then I was eyeing one of my wife's makeup brushes. It's soft enough to use on a woman's face, but is it durable enough for cleaning? I'm sure they're cheaper than paint brushes. At least I hope so because my wife has about a dozen of them.

Beaded water shot for your time. Kinda looks like a disease rather than sexy bead...

You could give the makeup brush a shot. Detailing brushes are the other alternative though.

I have always used old toothbrushes and they work great.

Got em, they're too rough. Great for getting in between spokes on your wheels

Former pro detailer here.

We used brushes that looked like paint brushes, but were made especially for auto detailing, particularly for removing wax & polish from around emblems, cracks, etc.

I've tried making my own by getting a regular paintbrush and cutting the bristles shorter, but it doesn't work as well or last as long.

They're kinda hard to find in retail stores. Check the bigger auto parts stores, or online they're only $3 or $4.
