You may be right in saying he used the wrong technique...can't say for sure, since I don't know the story, but I can say that the Boars Hair brush that I use has lasted me about eleven years so far and still holding up well...so the initial cost might be a little high, but it pays for itself in the long run. You definately want to use a good car wash shampoo, but that is the same with any tool you decide to wash with.

I use a boar's hair on my wheels, but it seems like there is so much material that it will pick up a lot of contaminants (even with regular rinsings, my wheel brush is *filthy*). I stick to a mitt or, lately, grout sponge for the paint.
