I used a Zymol sponge for many years on my cars. If you spray off a lot of the dirt/grit before washing it works OK. However, with a flat surfaced sponge the dirt gets trapped against the paint and scratches. So, I've since switched to the Edge ShMitt. It has a waffled surface. So, the dirt doesn't get trapped against the paint. Plus, it lasts a LONG time like a sponge.

I think you'll find that no one on this website uses a sponge to wash their car. There is a group of people who use grout sponges from Home Depot, but that's about it. I've never tried the grout sponge myself. So, I couldn't say how well it works.
 
so what would be the ideal thing to use?



i know that paul used the zymol sponges on the veyron, thats why i was interested in them.
 
goto wally world and get a sheepskin wash mit, and 2 buckets. 1 bucket for rinsing the mitt, the other bucket for soap.
 
SpoiledMan was the one who heralded in the Grout Sponge Era.



If I'm doing a traditional wash, I try to use *no* wash media at all. If that's not enough, I use a boar's hair brush. If I really do need to go as harsh as a traditional wash media to get the car clean, I use a Grout Sponge. Thanks, SpoiledMan, you have saved me many swirls!
