VR6Nat 9 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 hahaha, a mitt drags the dirt away from the car, whereas the sponge can just push the dirt across the car and not lift it away, causing swirl marks..... and trust me they're a fookin pain to get rid of....

Hairyarse 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've always used two sponges, a new one for body and old one for wheels etc. When the new one gets a bit tatty, that goes on the wheels and buy a new one. Reading that back sounds a bit OCD! Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 A sponge holds the dirt and worse still the grit on it's surface which then puts very small scratches all over your paintwork. A lambs wool mit holds the grit between its fibres and away from the surface of your paint. Why go to the trouble of claying, polishing and waxing your car if every time you wash it you cover it in scratches. Link to post Share on other sites
