Have plenty of soap left but the sponge is pretty used up/falling apart. What’s a good alternative to use in place of the sponge? Or can I buy a replacement sponge?

I tried a piece of bug scrubber foam block but it is noticeably stiffer than the P21S one. I was thinking one of the Turf Shine orange applicators. If you sliced it into maybe 3 pieces like a loaf of bread. They would be a good size to work with on exhaust pipes. They are pretty tough but don't have the large pores of the P21S sponge.

How about something like this?

Lake Country Exhaust Polishing Sponge (https://www.autogeek.net/lake-country-exhaust-sponge.html)

EZ Grip Hydro-Tech Applicators (https://www.autogeek.net/hydro-tech-hand-polish-applicator.html)

Flex Foam Finger Pockets (https://www.autogeek.net/flex-foam-finger-pockets.html)

The last 2 would be with the aggressiveness wanted.

I have used an old cutting foam buffing pad that I cut up with good results.

I'm with Dr. Olds (Jim)...an old white LC pad that's been retired but cleaned thoroughly. I also use old pads, cut 'em up and use them for tire dressings.

I know...I'm cheap!

I’m cheap too. I was thinking old pads. Thanks guys. Also thought about those “bug sponges” that are covered in cloth and textured.

That Lake Country sponge looks like a really good replacement.

Make me mad to see the prices Lake Country is charging for a fricking sponge! That thing probably cost them 5 cents to make and they sell it for 8$!

Just use what every sponge you want, I really doubt the sponge will make much difference. I would try to use a dollar store sponge and see how it goes.

Update: used those cloth covered/textured bug sponges and it worked perfectly. Much more durable. That what is offered from P21S.

i know this works on pots, pans and dishes lol. it softens up when it's in warm/hot water. it might be worth a shot and can be found otc all over...
