I don’t see the issue here. He actually drives his car and puts miles on it. I would do the same thing if it was my car. Well, I wouldn’t drive it in the winter. More out of safety than anything, I got caught ONCE by a freak dusting on the roads in my C5 and I might as well have been trying to drive in a foot of snow. Car didn’t move. ---

Car didn’t move. this thread has nothing to do with how or when or where he drives it, its that fact that i would not wash my car this way. not saying that he drives it alot is a bad thing, just dont use the BRUSH, spray it off ---

On a daily driven car your not going to do any damage to your paint or finish using the brush. I wouldn’t use it on a freshly detailed car, but for something you DD it will be fine. ---

The brush works great at collecting dirt from vehicles, not so great at letting the dirt go. ---

I have used the brush on every one of my vehicles and have NEVER put a scratch in any of them. The key is to take about 20-30 seconds and blast the shit out of the brush before using it; and make sure that you have thoroughly rinsed the car to remove all the large particles. Then when you blast the brush, I guarantee that there won’t be any particles left in it. ---

And the brush can and will cause clearcoat marring/swirling. I’ve seen it done first hand. Go wash your car with the brush, park your car in the direct sunlight, and take a picture of the hood where the sun is reflecting off of it. If there are no swirls then you either got lucky or your camera/eyes are junky. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/zr1-fail/252685.md?page=2)
