We use them at my shop all day everyday on interior /exterior they are a great asset to any detailers arsenal!! ill post some pics of some before and afters if i can figure it out.
 
I use it on burnished leather steering wheels and shift knobs to get back the satin look.
 
I use them only as a last resort and then with extreme care. If not really careful, a magic eraser will do damage, depending on the finish.
 
I hear they are suppose to clean door handles if you get wax or compound on them I am going to try it also I will post a picture when I am done
 
I use them on plastic pieces but never on leather. Don't use them on wheels either because they are way too harsh.
 
Are there any good write ups out there on how to incorporate these into a detailing arsenal? I have some that I use around the house and they do in fact work great.

On a car though, even something as simple as trim....scary! :buffing:

They can get pretty aggressive if you are aggressive with it, but I haven't had any problems with them. I use them for scuffs on trim and most plastics and vinyl. They often remove marks or dirt that normally would require the use of strong chemicals. If something doesn't come out with a brush - a magic eraser takes it out most of the time. Anytime you can replace a nasty chemical with something like a magic eraser its a total WIN/WIN situation. For heavily soiled vehicles or daily drivers - Its a total must and go to tool for me. I definitely suggest not using on leather - it can damage it very easily.

Man, gotta love Seinfeld. I'd say good episode but most are....

I find them very useful on lower door panels that get shoe scuffs, but on any textures plastics it works fantastic. I feel like its easier and faster than a brush. anything vinyl is fine also. I wouldn't be able to detail boats if it weren't for them.

Would I use it in a Ferrari? probably NOT, but I've never cleaned one that was dirty enough where I ever thought about it. Its great for daily drivers and family vehicles. They work good on steering wheels and anything that gets build up from lotions on your hand etc.

FUNX725I use them on almost all light colored vehicle I detail - I suggest giving them a try, I don't think you will be disappointed

ALSO - I find a lot of the time you don't need to apply a lot of pressure. I think it actually works better if you don't. let it do the work for ya.

It'll be tough-going, but I may just use these melamine foam tools on some vehicle areas you have mentioned.

Some of them even have some ethanol in their formulations.

Just don't use them with chlorine bleach.

Too much pressure causes their little foam-cells to break-down petty fast whenever I've used them around the house.
They probably won't emit any formaldehyde vapors/fumes when they act that way though.

I use them on every inch of a car with no problems , wheels , tires , leather , vinyl , plastic , trim , paint , even really dirty windows . Never ever had one problem with them , the only thing i dont like about them is they break down and so you have to vacuum up the mess.But a great alternative to harsh chemicals.
 
From what I understand, those things are like 3000 grit sandpaper.
 
Many of you probably know, Mr Clean Magic Eraser is a very hard Melamine Foam. I believe basically all of it comes from Germany, no matter the labeling.

Many of us folks use the ME for Stylus Cleaning, just a simple dunk or two into a small cube, the Stylus enters a labyrinth of millions of little tiny sharp "fingers", abrading, and scraping dirts, films, cruds off a Stylus.

I use it religiously on a $3,000 ZYX Airy 3 MC Phono Cartridge I own, a couple of dunks-cues before every LP Side.

I would use a good deal of caution for using this product for car care uses.

While it feels soft to the touch, it is a very hard substance, I cannot predict results around windshields, leather, vinyl, and especially paint.
