    um stands for Micron. I mainly uses sponges as I hardly do hose washes and do rinseless washing 95% of the time. So I use the Optimum Big red sponge or the DIY legacy sponge. You also dont want to use a sponge fully saturated. you want to rmove some of the water so the sponge has wicking ability to pull the dirt into the pores. I dont like using sponges with a hose wash.

    Great video Dave - loved listening to the sound of the sponge on the bodywork - reminded me of when I cleaned my car in the 90s. The good old 99p sponges were utilised when washing the car with Turtle Wax Hot Wax car wash. The sponge would turn permanently dark grey or black at the end of the wash 🤣.

    I bought a Soft99 Qjutsu sponge with their Creamy shampoo... where you apply slightly diluted shampoo direct to sponge then foam up with the sponge cell structure and wipe over the car. All felt very alien, and it was much slower than wash mitt method - but - seemed 'safe' as high lubricity and sponge's softness. I've decided to use it now and again, but only on a well pre-washed car. (Bilt Hamber Touch-less snow foam is utterly awesome.) Nice vid anyway Dave, love the humour :)

    I bought one too, Dave. I have to be honest, whilst it was alien, it did clean the parts of the car I chose to use it on and I searched for marring and didn't find any. It's also interesting that, as seen in your video, the thing suds up more and more as you use it. I'm wondering if this thing will be better left to soak in the shampoo bucket (maybe with a little shampoo on it) to allow it to soak up the soapy water? 1 thing I think, it's better on glass than microfibre and it's better on intricate grill areas too. Even if this gets resigned to grills and glass, for what I paid, it's fine by me. All the best. 👍

    I use the Ultra Black Sponge from The Rag Company and that is all I use. When I dunk it in the rinseless I squeeze it out till it only drips a little. This pushes out the dirt from the sponge. I use it on the softest black paints and have never scratched a car. Sponges are superior.

    Sponges for the Corsas, wash brushes for the vans and wash mitts for the Aston Martins.
    All of my contact washes use the single bucket method as well. A good thorough prewash with some decent citrus and you’re laughing. Think about it, the Corsa drivers don’t have a clue what the two bucket method is, and the Aston Martin owners keep their cars exceptionally clean in the first place. Only bringing them out of the heated garage to be cleaned and putting them straight back in 😂

    Believe it or not i still like the sponge for cleaning the car as well as a wash mitt but i am wondering if the hype about wash mitts etc is all to do with money making as most are from £10 upwards when a good old fashion sponge is £1.
    On the surface of the sponge you can see if there is dirt etc on it and when coming out the wash bucket you can look at the face of the sponge but the wash mitt in my opinion could trap dirt in which it's not visible to the eye , I know I have very little experience in car cleaning but this does concern me when using the mitt .

      I agree both can trap dirt, I think you notice the friction more with a sponge so that's where it gets most the hate from

    No one ever talks about the minerals etc. in the actual water used. When car cleaning gets down to the nano microns of fibres in a sponge or mitt I liken it to specialised cleaning of cd’s or vinyl albums and playing them in a contaminated environment. It all gets a bit silly.

    I admire you great vid you've brought back the humour, but points off for trying it on the wife's car 😂. I work at a large university, and most of the cars are unwashed, or a complete disaster zone, which calls into question whether scientists can wash a car, never mind identify which is the safer wash media based on observed results. I do realise that soft 99 uses a sponge for their soft egg wash, and kamikaze has a sponge as well. Pdm did a test on which wash media was the safest, and a chenille nobly mitt was the best on test. I think I'll be sticking with the wash mitt. I have the ultra black sponge from the trc but I hardly use it, so I won't be buying this one. Sorry 😢
