How are Universal Brush's Products Used in the Industry

Universal Brush’s products serve multiple applications throughout the professional car wash and detailing industry. For example, their wrap-around and rocker panel brushes are common in high-volume express tunnel washes because they gently clean the sides and lower panels of vehicles. Wheel and tire scrub brushes, designed with tough nylon or Unilon filaments, quickly remove grit and brake dust from rims, making them a staple for automatic and express tunnel washes. Large fleet washing operations for buses, trucks, and trains rely on Universal’s robust mitter curtains and soft cloth brushes to efficiently clean many surfaces while preserving the integrity of paint and graphics.
Even self-serve car washes benefit from Universal’s foam brushes, which allow customers to apply soap and clean their vehicles thoroughly while protecting all types of finishes. This wide range of specialized brushes and materials means every segment of the industry can achieve reliable, thorough cleaning while reducing the risk of vehicle damage and downtime.

Rigorous Testing for Unmatched Reliability

Their products undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliability and the performance that car wash professionals and detailers expect. Every brush is evaluated for durability, consistent cleaning power, and resistance to harsh chemicals and repeated use. Strict quality control measures guarantee each item meets industry standards before leaving the factory. Professional operators rely on Universal Brush for high-quality tools that minimize downtime and reduce replacement costs, allowing them to maintain peak efficiency. With this rigorous approach, Universal Brush Company has earned the trust of car wash owners nationwide, providing products that endure the toughest demands in both commercial and detailing environments.

Leading the Way in Innovation

The First Automatic Car Wash Brush

Automatic car wash brushes have come a long way since Lou Mundo first introduced his groundbreaking invention. His original design featured a wooden core with Tampico fiber bristles.

Universal Brush has continually refined its products, utilizing advanced materials and innovative brush styles to accommodate the ever-changing designs of modern vehicles and the needs of car washes. Newer styles include wrap-around, rocker panel, window, monster roof, hitch-hiker, and hub cap brushes.

Universal Brush Creates "Unilon" Filament

As advances in brush materials progressed, in 1950, Universal Brush created a new and now trademarked material named Unilon. It is an X-shaped plastic filament that is still used worldwide in the car, bus, truck, and train washing industries today.

Groundbreaking Soft Cloth Material Introduced

The widely used soft cloth material is another innovative product developed by Universal Brush. It was created in the 80s and is commonly utilized in mitter curtains and various brushes within automatic and express tunnel car washes. Universal Brush worked with leading textile manufacturers to develop and test this new material.

Universal Foam: The Latest Innovation from Universal Brush

In recent years, Universal Brush unveiled Universal Foam, setting a new standard in material innovation. Crafted from lightweight closed-cell foam, this advanced material offers exceptional softness and flexibility while significantly enhancing durability over traditional options. Its gentle touch minimizes the likelihood of scratching vehicle surfaces, making it an outstanding choice for those seeking superior protection and care.
