Shampoo Brush

[3Fitty]

Anyone know if the shampoo brushes made for the PC are compatible with the G110? http://www.autodetailingsolutions.co...ampooBrush.htm

I would imagine they are, but I wanted to ensure they were before I purchased them. Also, has anyone used them and if so, are they any good?

Thanks.

Re: Shampoo Brush

They will work with the G110. They just attach via the velcro so as long as you have a velcro backing plate you are all set.

I've never used one but thought about getting one a few times. A few things to think of... I don't know the diameter of the brush so make sure it isn't smaller than your backing plate. Otherwise I can see the velcro backing plate grabbing the carpet and making a mess. Another thing is I wasn't sure where I would be able to use this. Meaning that most of the carpet in my Jeep is in such small areas, I don't know if I would be able to work the DA around and have enough room.

If you do end up getting one let us (me ) know how it works.

Re: Shampoo Brush

They should work fine with the G110. I have a pair of these brushes. They work ok. The thing I'm experiencing is that when I'm shampooing a carpet the brush doesn't seem to stay well attached to the backing plate and because the PC/G110 oscillates it tends to want to spit out the brush. In other words the brush doesn't stay centered & get's a bit frustrating. There are other brushes made for the PC that actually screw on rather than attached by velcro.

Re: Shampoo Brush

I'm debating because I have no good way of cleaning my carpets (not that I have that much either), I just feel like my methods are pretty lame. I'm thinking of make another heavy order at ADS so I'm collecting my thoughts and a way to convince wifey it is in our best interest to fill the garage with more products!!!

I was kind of worried about this.

I can confirm that hemin8r said... I used the brush with the PC before and it would want to come off if used at speed 3 or above... I just placed an order for the G110 and I did get the brush but simply because I like the shape of it and use it by hand on some spot cleaning on carpets... it also works pretty well on the PC on speed 2-3...

hemin8r, do you know where to buy the brush that screws into the PC?

Re: Shampoo Brush

I have the velcro brush from ADS. I have used it about 4 times. I have not had any problems with it spinning off. I generally use it @ speed 3. I like the job it does. You have to maneuver the G100 around but it gets in all the places I asked it to. I should add this is referring to the short nap brush. Never used the longer nap brush.

Re: Shampoo Brush

As for how they stick to the velcro: I had to pull HARD for about 5 minutes to get mine off of the backing plate. Mine aren't going anywhere. This was on a newish backing plate too.

Re: Shampoo Brush

I have a long bristle and a short bristle brush and I have never had the problem of them falling off or getting off center. I have a pretty new backing plate but I think that they work great and they sure do save your arms a lot of work.

Re: Shampoo Brush

I have some that screw directly into the g100. Work very well. I think auto geek carries them.

Same. On my FLEX I hate having to remove it because it is seriously near impossible the velcro works so well
