So i purchased a boars hair brush on Meghans recommendation and i have used it this weekend. Unfortunately the handle broke but not before I finished my car. Dad will have to wait. I didnt notice any scratches yesterday but i was slightly overcast. However when i went out today a noticed very light rids all over the vehicle. So i am here to see if there is something wrong with my washing process.

1. Wash out buckets and grit guards
2. Fill 1st bucket up two thirds and then add Meg's gold class shampoo. Finishing filling up bucket.
3. Put brush in 1st bucket
4. finish filling up second bucket
5. Apply soap to foam gun.
6. wet vehicle paint surface.
7. apply soap using foam gun.
8. wash with brush lightly. ( in direction air hits the vehicle surface cleaning brush in bucket 2 every panel or sooner then re-apply more solution to brush in bucket one.)
9. repeat until done.
10. dry vehicle
11. clean supplies.

Is there anything i am not thinking of or is the boars hair just wishful thinking? I have head Meghan and others swear by them and others curse them. Both groups having black cars. However after using it on my bronze colored STS i thought i was in heaven until this morning. Any suggestions? Do you think i have a soft clear coat. I know parts of the vehicle have been resprayed.

Thanks for anyhelp
 
I'm following anything related to the Boar Brush... so allow me to ask some questions.

Was the Handle that broke, the AG Handle... or your own that you screwed into the Brush ?

Was there any slop in how the Handle screwed into the Socket ?

Do you think it was the Handle's fault it broke... or do you maybe think you were a little too aggressive ?

I know some people push the Buckets around on the Driveway with the Handle/Brush combo inside the Bucket rather then picking up the Bucket and moving it by Hand... and for them, maybe it's time to buy the 5-Wheel Car-Wash Dolly.
 
I don't know if its related but you should definitely spray the car down with the hose/spray nozzle before you foam the car or start rubbing on it with anything.

I rinse then apply foam with spray gun and let sit for 2 minutes. While that sits I hit the window seals with a toothbrush (not every time). Then I rinse again, then do tires/wheels with dedicated bucket and rinse, and then I start washing the paint with my MF mitts using 2 bucket grit guard method.

Sorry folks had a family emergency.

I think the handle was allready cracked when it shipped and using it put more pressure on it allbeit light pressure.

I do not move the buckets while I am washing I place them at the back of the vehicle in the center so I have the same amount of walking to do to get to the bucket from either side.
 
Call Meghan and let her know about your problem. Autogeek has the best customer service bar none. They will work with you on any problem.
 
What's your drying technique like?

Also, did you wash (well give a good rinse and agitate by hand) the boars hair brush before first use? I would always recommend this with any mitt, brush or product to remove any particles that may be stuck in the fibers.
 
RIDS could be from many different things, but when used correctly you will not get RIDS from that Boars Hair, trust me I have two black cars and a boars hair brush that is about 4-5 years old! So lets first get you a new handle, second if you like give us a call and we can help you with your technique to see if we can pin point where you are getting RIDS from.
