Scott Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I know that a sponge isn't the best thing to clean your car with but needs must so i want to get the right one. A little later in the year i am planning on getting a full detail so hopefully i shouldn't do THAT much damage. The pressure washer just isn't cutting it so what sponge should i get? Is there a particular brand? I know of the 2 bucket method, which i will be using, but i don't want to scratch the crap out of my new paint.

Paul Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Zymol sponge, six quid a piece couldn't get on with a mitt as they don't seem to hold much water/shampoo. Swirl wise I've not had a problem with the sponge, ideal size and seems to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
