HMPLL 10pcs Auto Car Detailing Brush Set Car Interior Cleaning Kit Includes 5 Boar Hair Detail Brush,3 Wire Brush, 2 Air Vent Brush for Cleaning Car Interior Exterior, Dashboard Engines Leather Wheel

Why I reached for this kit

I keep a couple of detailing brush sets on hand for different tasks, but I wanted a simple, no-drama kit I could toss in a bucket and use across dashboards, vents, leather, wheels, and under the hood. The HMPLL brush kit checked the right boxes on paper: five boar-hair detail brushes in graduated sizes, three wire brushes for tough residues, and two tools specifically for air vents. After several full interior and exterior details, it’s earned a spot in my regular rotation—mostly for the boar-hair brushes—but it’s not without quirks.

Build and ergonomics

All five detail brushes use plastic handles, which matters more than it sounds. No metal ferrules means fewer chances of accidental dings on delicate trim or painted surfaces. The handles are light, don’t swell or get slippery after a soak, and the size numbering is genuinely useful when you’re switching between a tight button cluster and a wider door panel. I could work for long stretches without hand fatigue.

The bristles are densely packed and feel more “natural boar” than the overly springy nylon you often see in budget kits. Out of the box there was no odd odor, and the heads hold a surprising amount of soapy solution, which helps when you’re agitating cleaner into textured plastics or leather grain.

The wire brushes use the same plastic handle pattern, each with a different filament type. They’re compact and easy to maneuver, but they’re best considered occasional-use tools rather than daily drivers.

The two air-vent tools are slim and appropriately sized for most vent slats. They’re not as thorough as compressed air plus a small detail brush, but they’re quick for routine dusting and light grime.

Performance: interior

• Infotainment and piano black trim: The softest boar-hair brush worked well with an interior cleaner diluted to a gentle ratio. No micro-marring on glossy plastics, and the bristles had enough give to get into tight seams without flicking product everywhere.

• Buttons, toggles, and seams: The mid-size brushes shine here. Pair with a foaming cleaner to keep liquid control tight; the bristles carry foam into edges and lift crumbs and dust without driving debris deeper.

• Leather and vinyl: On leather, I stick to the softer sizes and keep pressure light. The brush face is compact enough to work stitching and perforations without snagging. On textured vinyl and rubberized surfaces, the denser head helps break loose embedded dust.

• Vents: The dedicated vent tools are useful for a quick refresh, but if vents are genuinely grimy, a small boar-hair brush with cleaner and a careful wipe down afterward gave me better results.

Performance: exterior and engine bay

• Badges, fuel filler areas, and trim joints: The smaller brushes are great for loosening dirt before a rinse. They don’t collapse under water pressure and hold up to all-purpose cleaners and mild degreasers without the bristles splaying.

• Wheels: I reserve the softer boar-hair brushes for lug nuts and around valve stems. They won’t scratch clear-coated wheels if you keep them clean and rinse often. The wire brushes can help on heavily oxidized hubs or stubborn brake dust on bare metal surfaces, but I avoid them on painted or clear-coated rims—use a chemical decontaminant first and escalate carefully.

• Engine bay: The mid-size boar brush plus a rinseless wash or APC works nicely on plastic covers, hoses, and tight spaces around fasteners. The plastic handles won’t corrode, and the bristles clean up well afterward.

Shedding and durability

Bristle shedding is the trade-off with most natural hair brushes. In my case, the first two uses produced a few loose hairs—noticeable but not alarming—and then it settled. A quick pre-use comb or rinse reduces those initial strays. The density of the heads remained intact after repeated wet/dry cycles, and I didn’t see bald spots developing.

The wire brushes are utilitarian. They’re fine for brief, targeted scrubbing, but if you lean on them hard or try to muscle through rust, the bristles can deform and the head flexes more than a pro-grade equivalent. Treat them as consumables and they’ll serve you.

The vent tools held up to routine dusting; they’re not precision instruments, but they’re handy.

Chemical resistance and cleanup

I ran the boar-hair brushes through:

• Interior cleaner (diluted)
• APC up to 1:10 for exterior trim
• Rinseless wash solution
• Mild wheel cleaner (pH balanced)

No swelling, no staining beyond light darkening expected with natural bristle. Rinse thoroughly, shake out, and let air-dry bristles-down. The heads dry evenly, and I didn’t pick up any musty odor after drying. The plastic handles shrug off water and chemicals, and the printed size numbers stayed legible.

What could be better

• Initial shedding: Minor but present out of the box. Pre-rinsing helps.
• Wire brush robustness: Adequate for light duty; not ideal for aggressive de-rusting or prolonged scrubbing on rough cast surfaces.
• Vent tool effectiveness: Fine for quick maintenance, less effective on vents with sticky residues without following up with a boar-hair brush.

None of these are deal-breakers at the price, but they’re worth knowing.

Practical tips from use

• Keep a dedicated brush per task (interior vs. wheels) to avoid cross-contamination.
• Foam up cleaners on the brush head rather than spraying surfaces directly to control runoff around electronics.
• On delicate piano black, use the softest brush with minimal pressure and follow immediately with a clean microfiber.
• For heavy brake dust, prioritize chemistry (pH-balanced wheel cleaner or iron remover) before any mechanical agitation; wire brushes last.
• After each session, rinse brushes until water runs clear, then spin them between your palms to expel excess water and dry bristles-down.

Value and positioning

This kit sits in the sweet spot between single-brush purchases and premium branded sets that cost several times more. The five sizes of boar-hair brushes cover nearly every task I encounter in routine detailing, and the plastic, metal-free construction is exactly what I want near paint and delicate interior trim. The wire brushes and vent tools are bonuses—handy to have, but not the reason to buy the kit.

If you’re detailing multiple cars every week, you’ll eventually want to augment with specialty tools (ultra-soft synthetic brushes for piano black, longer wheel barrel brushes, silicone detail swabs). For most DIYers and even pros who need expendable, reliable brushes for day-to-day work, this set represents strong value.

Who it’s for

• DIY owners who want a single, compact kit that handles interiors, trim, and light exterior detailing.
• Mobile detailers or shop techs who need a dependable set of boar-hair brushes they won’t panic about losing or wearing out.
• Anyone upgrading from generic nylon brushes and looking for better surface safety and product control.

It’s less ideal if your primary need is heavy corrosion removal or restoration work that relies on robust metal brushes—invest in purpose-built wire brushes for that.

Bottom line and recommendation

I reach for the HMPLL brush kit because the boar-hair brushes are the right mix of soft, dense, and durable, the plastic handles keep me from worrying about accidental contact with paint, and the size spread means I’m not hunting for the “just right” brush mid-job. The wire brushes and vent tools are fine for occasional use, but the five boar-hair brushes are the reason this kit earns its keep.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit for most car owners and working detailers who need a versatile, budget-friendly set of natural-bristle brushes for regular cleaning. Expect a bit of initial shedding, treat the wire brushes as light-duty tools, and the rest of the package delivers consistent, surface-safe results across dashboards, leather, trim, wheels, and engine bays.
