is it designed for washing cars?? if so, then your probably okay. I work at a car wash and we have brushes with foam that comes out of them. the bristles themselves wont wash your car BUT, people drop them on the ground and sometimes get rocks/debris in the bristles and that WILL scratch your paint. So just make sure you wash it out before you use it.

i think it is designed for washing cars, but the cardboard label showed pictures of it washing the windows and pictures of it washing the rims, not the acual car. it is extendable, but not sure if u can put soap into it.

Do NOT buy the brush!!! Buy a wool mit (softest you can get) and then just dry the car with regular household towels. That is by FAR your best bet at not scratching your car.

I got a chennelle wash mit, deep nap, and extremely soft.

Switching over to microfibers for drying, bought a meguiars, even has soft edges.

I wouldn't buy the brush. Just stick with the proven method.....lamb wool or chennelle mit which are the softest, water bucket, soft 100% cotton towels for drying.
