I needed more NV Snow so bought the 2 pack carpro brushes at the same time.

Might need to browse the car care sub forum to educate myself on using interior brushes, as silly as that sounds. Mainly for usage on the centre console, the grooves around the buttons and gear shifter surround etc. Also dash and air vents and power window switches.

For air vents, in one hand, use the ultra-soft brush dry and agitate while holding a vacuum in the other hand to suck up the dust as you brush. You can use this same "dusting" method on glossy trims, buttons, screens.................

If you do need some chemical assistance, spray into the bristles, agitate, then wipe clear with a towel. If you have compressed air, you can use that to drive any chemical residue from the crevices. Just be careful doing that around buttons as you risk causing damage to the connection. Around switches, if you need to apply a chemical, I've been told to use an interior detailer that has an IPA element like KCx ASC or Carpro InnerQD, these will help evaporate residue much quicker.

I have carpro inside diluted to 1:5 for cleaning and innerQD as detailer.

I'll have to get used to vacuuming and brushing at the same time but sounds a bit like patting your head while rubbing your stomach

Have a look at AliExpress for some of the Car Detailing Brushes ect.

Some of it is junk, others looks strangely familiar.

For anyone wanting to get into machine polishing but don't want to over invest, this ShineMate EX605 at $173.95 is a screaming bargain! Ideally, you would buy the kit, which includes pads and compounds, but at that price, you can't go wrong.

The ShineMate EX605 looks like its being cleared for the new ER0600. But the 605 has a 12mm orbit for more effective correction.
