The detailing brushes from Aurum-Performance® impressed us in our test with their excellent quality. The set consists of two brushes in different sizes. The small cleaning brush is particularly suitable for the interior of the car, as it can reach hard-to-reach areas more easily. The large brush rounds off the set as it ensures gentle and effective cleaning of the exterior of the car. There are no metal parts or sharp edges on the brushes. This ensures safe application. A textured handle ensures a good grip. The manufacturing process of the brushes is constantly monitored by specialist personnel to ensure that there are no defects during production. Aurum-Performance gives its customers a quality promise – in the event that the customer is not 100% satisfied, a replacement will be provided immediately. The positive impression of the products was confirmed in the practical test. The brushes are easy to use and can be used safely. The quality of the bristles is particularly positive : they are ultra-soft and have a high-quality appearance. Even the most remote areas of the car can be reached with the small brush. Overall, this is a high-quality and durable product that can be used both inside and outside the car.
