    So I've always had a dream of owning a brush I could screw onto my garden hose (like what they have at the car washes) that also dispenses soap. And hey...if it was extendable to reach my house windows...that'd be a bonus too!
    What are you guys using? Or recommend?

    I have one I bought from Costco that does everything you listed. I think it was classified as an RV brush with soap dispenser. I couldn't find a link since Costco online doesn't currently offer it and it has no branding on it. I've had it like 5 years and use it a bunch.

    There is no doubt in my mind this dog is in fact soft... just more training than I am willing to commit to, to have it wash my truck and windows for me:rofl:

    Dont use a brush. It will damage and scratch the paint over time.

    Instead, get one of the microfiber wash mops on a pole. There are lots available, Amazon is a good place to look, and they usually cost 20 to 50 bucks depending.

    I’ve got a very soft one for rv use. I love it, but I’ve also got a white truck, hides dirt and scratches pretty good (AZ pinstripes). If I had a dark color I’d be a lot more anal about taking care of it. Had a black truck once, never again. Looked great for a couple hrs after washing.

    x2. You might as well use the one at the self service bay if you’re gonna do that.

    Thanks! I'll have to pick one up!

    Now. You guys know how dealerships get the under hood compartment so clean before they sell a vehicle. I've been neglecting mine for awhile lol

    all that this brushes do is scratch the clear coat on your vehicles. If that is what you want go for it but to wash your vehicle nothing else than a microfiber rag.
    I do detailing and ceramic coating and that is what I find in every person that use those brushes.

    TRD Air Filters, Front door windows tinted to match the rears. Wheel locks, Talons Garage cat shield, Tyger Automotive soft tonneau cover, WeatherTech floor mats with Tuff Skinz Custom Emblem kit, Toyota OEM Emblem Black Out kit. AVS vent covers on all four doors, Red Tundra letters on front bumper & TRD highlighted in Red on front grille. Tailgate Tundra Letters in Black.
    The only brush I use is a Boars Hair brush. No pole attachment just by hand. It’s so soft and it will not scratch as long as you rinse thoroughly and use the right soap.

    I'm glad that it works for you I will stay on the microfiber side and use a two bucket procedure.
