Sponges are bad.

Lambs wool washmitts are good.

You'll damage your paintwork with a sponge.

You'll clean your paintwork with a washmitt.

Can't really say as i've never used it. But it looks like it would be better than a sponge.

If you think about it, a sponge has a flat edge. When you wipe it over dirt it drags the dirt accross the paintwork inbetween the sponge and the paintwork.

With a lambswool washmitt the grit gets stuck in the middle of the washmitt away from the paintwork. So its not dragged accross the paintwork.

I bought one off ebay abit ago, cost me like £9.00 or something.

A microfibre washmitt would also be better than a sponge.
