[b]Hey, did anyone else notice that it smelled like a wet pig after the first time you used it! Yuck!

Washed the car yesterday. The brush is working out well. saved a lot of time and seem to do a better job (getting rid of grease spots) than my cotton towels. I use a separate bucket to rinse the brush every time before I soak the brush in the soap. Inspecting the brush afterwards I did not notice any particles or grease. I am not sure if it caused swirl marks because I noticed swirl marks on the car straight from the dealer. Regarding the brush. I believe it is about the same size as the ones from Griot's. It's ~$33 each, and $8 shipping for 2 (I bought 2). The company specialize in car wash brushes. I called their 800 number to order the brush. They will take credit card # over the phone. Since I do not have the ones from Griot's, I have no idea how they stack up. To reiterate, they smell awful.

Maybe my boar was very good with personal hygiene but my brush doesn't smell at all when wet.

I think the manufacturer did not wash the boars before the hair came off. Now I put the brush in a plastic bag to prevent it from stinking up the house.

No I'm serious, no stink at all, maybe my brush has a different processing, used it twice no far, no smell.

For folks who got the brush from the same place I got mine -
Clean the brush with regular shampoo. It really cuts down on the odor. Now it can sit in the house without the plastic bag over it. Maybe I am just getting used to the smell of a boar around the house.
