I see that one of the sponges I use to wash, and another that I use to take off bugs and grease from the wheels, are about to kick the bucket. I can only imagine that Dollar Tree will have a nice supply of each type. I forget where I've bought these in the past.

Have any of you gotten a very long life out of particular brands that you've used? Or do you feel that a sponge is a sponge?

Reason why I'm asking, is that a year or so ago I bought a Meguiar's waffle water magnet towel, and after 2-3 uses, I noticed a definite drop in the amount of work that it did (I still use it as the first towel, to take off the big drops, but now I go over the surface later, with a microfiber towel to get the small drops that the waffle towel misses). I'm ok with paying 10 bucks for a sponge, but I'd like to be sure that it will last.
 
if ur looking for a sponge specifically, home depot sells a pretty decent one for like $2....I think the brand is QEP.... they also have multi packs
 
I don't use sponges to wash, I am concerned about them scratching the paint.

If you do want a good one, I believe Optimum makes one that is supposed to be very good. You would have to check their product list.
 
Are you talking about mesh bug sponges? If so, I get mine from the dollar store, but I only use them when I'm dealing with an extremely dirty vehicle [usually a big muddy truck] and I only use those sponges on the lower parts of the bumpers as a pre wash to knock off heavy dirt/mud/bugs. I'll sometimes spray the sponge with APC and go to town.. I consider those sponges disposable. They work great for that purpose.
 
Have you ever given any thought about using
the Grout Sponges that are found at the second
largest (in the USA) home improvement retailer?

If you haven't:
Now's the perfect time to do so, IMO.
