None!

Never wash your car with a sponge, use a lambs wool wash mit.

lambswool wash mit for the body and microfibre mit for arches and wheels

i have always used a sponge to clean my car, what is wrong with using them? :wonder: :wonder:

what's right with them more like! ;)

what happens with a sponge is the dirt particles that are on the surface of the paint get trapped on the leading edge of the sponge. then when you wash in circles the dirt causes fine scratches the the paint. this is swirling.

use a good lambswoold washmitt for the top half of the car and then another or a microfibre one for the lower half and wheel arches.

no rubbing in circles either. straight lines and rinse the mitt out in clean water before dipping back into your shampoo bucket.

that's a quick run down. there's a bit more to it than that.

I wish this had been posted on A world for detailers... (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/)

People would have been fainting and having heart attacks :lol:

Never ever use a sponge :nono: As previously quoted, does more harm than good.
Once you use a lambswool mitt, you`ll never look back. I assure you.

Also it will keep your hand warm in winter. :thumb:

As mneame said.

I used a sponge once, does that mean my head will explode? :wonder:

No Dan it doesn't! But it will scratch your paint as said above.
