Looking for advise on wash brushes
I currently use a brush dip into bucket of wash and wax, than wash for with hose. Currently my bush is toast and all the ones I find seem to stiff I bought one and and scratched up my decals. Not really sure about these new Micro-Fiber ones. Also the ones that water run threw, Is that the hot set-up?

I bought a micro fiber brush in spring. It works great. I use it on my truck, cars, and the trailer. There is no Farm and Fleet in your area, but this is what I bought.

Bought this brush 2.5 years ago and very pleased with it. Getting ready to order another. Screws on to a collapsible pole I purchased from Home Depot. Can do a very thorough wash on my Seneca in 1 hour.

Try Walmart RV section. They have a RV extendable run thru water brush that is soft and safe on decals. I have one and so far on my 2019 Redhawk no complains.

I don't like the kind that water runs through as it seems like I end up with more water on me than the RV. The Walmart brush looks really good, but I am still working on a 10 year old brush from Costco. Cleans great, is gentle and has extension. Also water through handle which I never use.

We wash several charter buses each week and have tried many kinds over 50-years.
This is my favorite brush from NAPA. I use it on my Jayco also.
https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7...car+wash+brush
The bristles are soft and won't scratch a bus or an rv. I keep two... one for the bus or RV and an old one for the rims and tires.
They sell an aluminum extension handle that's great also, or a wooden handle works well too.

That's the brush I have currently wore down. I didn't remember where I had bought it at.

I have two. The first one I bought is like what Riverman shows from Napa. It has an adjustable handle length, and I really did not like it that much.
I other that I use all the time is similar to what qnghiem posted. This one also has an adjustable length handle. I use this brush all the time. What I like there is always a large number of bristles touching the TT, no matter what angle I am at.
I use a bucket to dip the brush, and the hose to rinse off.

I bought a nice one from the local truck stop. Just the brush. Then bought a extendable AL. paint pole that is sold at most Lowes/HomeDepot etc. The brush is like the yellow one qnghiem posted except not as much brush material on the sides. Used it for the last 5 years. It is a bit heavy when wet but seems to work well.

I second this suggestion. That's what I use.

O'Reillys has a good selection of extension wash brushes for autos. If it is good for auto finishes I would think it is fine for our rig's finish.

You will be surprised at how much faster and easier it is with the foam cannon.

I 2nd your comment on the water. Plus you're now lugging the weight of the hose & water. Mine had a plastic water fitting that broke washing my car. Keep it simple, soft brush, bucket, a good extendable pole.
I did buy a rectangular shaped microfiber on an extendable pole which made washing all my Seneca windows MUCH easier. I am now thinking of a 2nd to keep dry to wipe windows down after washing to prevent water spots. Plus bought a small triangular shaped microfiber to clean front window interior from Walmart RV section BUT it does not fit the standard extendable pole. It does work great on that sloped front window which was its main purpose.
