Detailing brush recommendations

Been looking at getting some detailing brushes for cleaning the engine bay. Looked at eBay but too much choice, any recommendations?

carbon collective set are nice.... but in reality a decent set from amazon will do the job for half the price.... i've brought some really expensive ones and the amazon ones that i got for backups were identical bar the name printed on them.

Thanks for the advice, looks like a cheap set from Amazon then.
Seen so many people on YouTube with flat brushes to get in different angles and hard to reach places.

This is what I own. Gets the job done fairly well, but then again I just went on Amazon and looked up some options. :rofl:

To be honest, I use the same brushes for my tyres and wheels as I do for the engine bay. I suppose when your cleaning a variety of wheels including cross spokes and wheels you can clean the barrels with, you begin to accumulate one too many, as in my case :headbang:
