    So I wanted to know who cleans their Pneu brush after each application? I have been just letting it hang in the garage after each use and it seems to be going crazy. The hairs are all tweaked out and going every which direction. Should I clean it like I do a paint brush after each use so it starts fresh each time? It sucked so bad tonight I went back to using my old blue Uber puck applicator.

    Are you spraying the tire and then rubbing it in with the brush or spraying on the brush?? I hope those pictures help you understand what's going on.

    mine is starting to spread out like that, but nowhere near as bad as yours. i usually spray onto the brush then apply.

    not sure what are you using with it?

    I only use mine for dusting as well.

    You should realize that brushes wear out and will not longer give you any returns.

    I was using it with the last bit of Pneu I had and White Pearl.

    Should they wear out only doing 4 cars Phil?? I may just clean it really well and use it for dusting.

    I guess I will need to get a few more blue applicator pucks.

    I have all 3 swisswax brushes and they all look like that. They work fine too but when they dry out, the become all crazy :) They work fine so i'm not sure what is ... actually, what do you want to know? They are brushes, I don't think there's no guarantee for that. They are like 10$ each, why not just buy another one?

    I cleaned it really well with apc and dawn. I then put it in a paint brush case to get the bristles to their normal shape. I will no longer use it for tire dressings.

    2 comments - 13 bucks for a little paint brush you can get a the dollar store? and use a tire sponge for Pete's sake!

    I got all four brushes from Spyral when he had them up for sale, couldn't pass up the deal.
