My parent's neighbor uses on one his 911. I've never tried it myself.

You can get them from Griots Garage.

Its all I use to wash our cars. They are extremely soft and have had no signs of scratching. I ordered mine from Griotsgarage.

Good luck

I got one once. The problems I had with it are they dont hold water too well(obviously goes right through the hairs) and it didnt seem to "clean" the paint. Sure it would move light dirt around but if you have sap or bird crap on your car, it really doesnt clean it. Also, If you slip or it falls out of your hand, the wood handle could do damage in a number of ways.

No matter what type of cleaning utensil Ive tried, nothing beats a good wool mitt(also gotten from Griots). This has lasted me for over 5 yrs of washes and shows no sign of falling apart or being even remotely dirty. Plus it cleans without scratching and I can cover a lot of the car faster.

Griots garage has a good brush w/ synthetic handle. Mine is 3 years old and looks new. Matter of fact, all of their polishes, sealers, and wax (all compatible with each other) work well.
