Does anyone use a sponge for a Rinseless Wash? If so, what brand?

VISITOR said:
one sponge that works great for rinseless/traditional washes is the lowes proline tile & grout sponge, they are discontinued but some lowes still have them in-stock. besides that, the megs microfiber wash mitt or microfiber covered bone sponge works great as well...

how do you use the bone sponge for rinseless? sweep with one direction? gentle back and forth motion?

And do you rinse the bone sponge after every panel?
 
Lower areas only and not in the summer (no rain). I use BRS.
 
Did anyone mention the Big Red Sponge that Optimum recommends for ONR? IMHO, works much better than MF. No marring on my new black car whatsoever. I usually use the two bucket method to keep the sponge as clean as possible.
 
Yep. BRS is great. Use it to get grime and sludge off lower panels when I can't easily use the hose or pressure wash. Works very well for me. (Shhh... I'm using it with other products besides ONR.)
 
I just use a random grout sponge. Could be one of the good lowes ones people used to talk about 10 years ago I don't know. Works fine for me though

I have a similar MF covered sponge. It gets black after half the roof from all the dirt. But the sponge has no dirt when i checked, just black from “dirt stain”.

Do you wash yours after every rinseless session?

I love the car concept of a grout sponge but in practice they don't work well for washing a car. A super plush towel or mitt enable you to get in all the cracks and crevices. Those left uncleaned look really bad. If fact bad looking trim makes a car look older than trashed paint.

When I first started doing RW's I used the Aqua sponge all the time with no issues but a mf wash mitt with the little fingers all over the place is also a fine choice.

Have you tried the Aqua sponge?

Thanks!

I am curious about sponges. Where does the dirt go when using aqua sponge? How do you clean your aqua sponge after doing a RW?

I know this is going to sound odd and funny but I take mine in the shower with me and just use regular hair shampoo lightly massaging it into the pores and just letting it soak up more water and then just keep stepping out of the shower until all the soap and any debris comes out.

Very efficient!

While using that sponge for RW, does it absorb dirt from the car then releases them in the rinse bucket?
 
Just started using the big red sponge with the whole Optimum synergy system and loving it so far!

Did you see dirt in your drying towel? That is the common complaint i see when using BRS.

Yes it does but of course I use the grid card and squeeze it a couple times to make sure I get everything out.
