Being an Australian resident has it's benefits,.....................and downsides. Most would say the warm and sunny weather, but I hate summer heat. Our landscape is certainly unique, our beaches are stunning and being so far from the worlds epicenters is occasionally a good thing too.
That distance is also frustrating at times, especially when it comes to getting the latest and greatest. We always seem to get things months or even years after being available in other countries. Be that cars...................or detailing products.
The Detail Factory's new Curve Ball and Tire Brush are two such products, both were released in the USA in early March, and as always, it takes a few months for little old Australia to catch up. I had these pre-ordered since April after being given the heads up a few weeks prior that these would soon be available from a local owner of a local detailing supplier. And, as usual, everything sold in Australia is heavily marked up in price.

Detail Factory - Curveball XL Synthetic Brush | The Rag Company (USA)
Detail Factory - Tire Scrub Brush | The Rag Company (USA)
Detail Factory CurveBall - Large Area Detailing Brush – CleanandShiny (UK)
Detail Factory Tire Scrub Brush – CleanandShiny (UK)
On first touch, like any Detail Factory product, these feel like very high quality items.
The Tire brush is pretty self-explanatory, the rubberized handle a nice upgrade over my current Maxshine/Tuff Shine brush and the bristles are also slightly softer and longer.
The Curve Ball's role is not as well defined. First of all, this brush is surprisingly massive! The little holder is also a nice touch.
This brush was primarily designed for use on large interior surfaces.
However, I was all set to follow Obsessed Garage's lead in using this as a tire dressing applicator.
Except...........it seems just too nice to use for such a messy job. We'll see.............
More "detailed" review after I get a chance to use them.
