Incredisponge for ONR/rinseless

I want to switch over from the GD wash method to the one bucket method as far as rinseless washing is concerned.
I just didn`t like the fact that I had so many MF`s to wash w the GD method. Just knowing that I had to wash a load of MF`s after every wash was sort of discouraging me from doing rinseless washes.

I know everyone loves the Big Red Sponge but I found this one and I`m wondering if anyone has any experience w it for ONR/rinseless washes.

It looks a bit smaller than the Big red Sponge which I like and I`m placing an order w Car Pro soon anyway so....
 
I`ve used the incredimitt and the incredisponge. They both work great but my incredisponge ripped at the seam after probably 10 washes. Probably just got a lemon. It happens. I wash my mitts after every wash though. The mitt is still going strong.

I feel that they pull more dirt off the paint than the BRS.

Did you contact Car Pro (or where ever you got it) and let them know?

No I probably should have i just wasn`t that concerned. Corey is a great guy and I`m sure he would have sent me a new one. I kinda wanted to see what was in it so i dissected it. I threw out the sponge and actually used the incredi material to rinseless wash wheels. Work pretty good.

I like both the mitt and sponge but I think I might try the pad. To me it looks the best of both. I didn`t care for how thick the sponge was.

I saw the pad but it looked at bit small...
 
I use these, I got 11 of them. Sometimes I`ll toss all in a bucket and use the GDWM and sometimes if I just feel like mixing 1 gallon of RW only then tossing it I`ll use one or two and the 1 bucket with a grit guard and filter. Short fibers make it much easier to clean than something with long ones, very soft and flexible (better adjustment to contours vs. a sponge) .

Thanks!! Those look like something I`d like. Are those the Merino wash mitts from Car Pro?

I switched over to the Bone Wash Sponge, you can get two for less than $10 on sale.

The Bone Wash Sponge

So far, I`ve been very happy with them.

I used this Bone today on a Sprinter Van and it worked great with ONR. I used it with a nanoskin clay towel after the first cleaning also to add lubrication by just squeezing ahead of the towel. It was a great time saver since I had no access to city water today and my well water spots badly. I used about 3 gallons 2 to wash 1 to clay towel.

One bucket or two? I`m always interested in people`s ONR procedure.
 
I can`t speak for Wing Commander but I have gone back to the Gary Dean method with ONR.

I have tested the one bucket method that optimum promotes for quite a while and I do feel it`s safe. I have not marred my vehicles in any way by using it.

The only thing I don`t like is seeing dirty solution and putting my sponge or mitt back in. It`s just an OCD thing. I like to work clean and feel I do with the GD method. I do laundry no matter what so for me the extra towels are not a big deal.

I still have 4 or 5 dirty towels with the Big Red Sponge because I use multiple drying towels which are picking up much of the dirt. Just as easy to wash 10 towels as 5 for me, so I went back to the multiple towel method.
 
I use two bucket with ONR, and a wash mitt. Never see my solution getting dirty, and I`ve been happy with the result.

I am sorry to tell you that your drying towels should not be dirty. I make sure to overlap each section that I wash so the drying towels are clean. A dirty towel will also likely have contaminants that will scratch or damage your paint. I have learned the hard way about this and had to re polish what I thought was paint that was being cleaned correctly but my method was flawed.

If I use microfiber cloths to clean with ONR, I use about 5 16x16 on my small delivery van and 2 16x16 drying towels which stay clean. If I use the Big Red Sponge to wash, then I use 4-5 16x16 drying towels and ditch them as I fold to a clean side. Then the drying towels get dirty. Why would they scratch, they are wiping up the ONR which has encapsulated the dirt? Are you able to wash with the Big Red sponge and not pick up dirt when drying?
