Or £450+ for a paint correction after you have used your scourer aka the sponge, simple math suggest £9 is a bargain.

LOL same, i thought he was really hydrated and taking a huge wazz on his car

Look on eBay for a microfibre washmitt

I bought a lambswool mitt ages ago, used it once and didn't really like using it plus with it being lambswool it stinks when wet, just smells like a wet sheep

The microfibre washmitts are so much better it's all i use now, really gentle on the paint but still gives the car a lovely clean

Also have a microfibre wheel brush for the wheels which i love

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Monza-Micr...item51909ad649 - £3.98...job done!

I use a sonus mitt, think it's really good but them microfibre ones look quite good as backups for when it's dirty, will get a few

only the wrong type of sponge will damage car.use a valeting sponge(looks more like bob than those big yellow buggers that do drag the dirt with them)and as long as you replace it after 4/5uses then its fine,not as if they are expensive??worked in a bodyshop for a few years, i would make suggestions that would ruin a fellow sax-p member

As soon as someone mention's they have worked in a bodyshop i just cringe, quick turnarounds mean shit prep, shit spraying, and poor finishing down afterwards with G3 and a shitty mophead on a single speed hacksaw!!!

Go away with shit advice please.
