ONR big red sponge
When using this, it seems most use just one bucket. How do you keep the sponge from getting too dirty? What's the method? I've been using microfiber towels but the sponge seems easier.

Re: ONR big red sponge
I use 1 bucket with ONR and if the sponge gets too dirty from stuck on whatnot ill spray it with powerclean and soak it in some apc mix.

Well, the reason i'm interested in it is because of the convenience. Seems like it would be quicker than using towels. I'm just worried about when you wring out the sponge in the bucket, the dirt will contaminate the solution which could re-introduce it to the sponge.

Re: ONR big red sponge
Even though Optimum recommends one bucket with ONR and the BRS I use two buckets. I have trouble placing the sponge back in filthy dirty water and then washing paint with it. Using two buckets keep the wash solution and the BRS sponge clean . On my personal cars I only use one bucket since the cars are always clean. When cleaning customers cars that are filthy I always use two buckets. I can't take the risk

Exactly, use a two-bucket method (I use a grit guard), except you are using ONR. Then you can use a sponge. I use the Gary Somebody method, but I used to use a sponge and two buckets and sometimes I wonder if that is faster. Seem to get no swirls either way.

Re: ONR big red sponge
OK thanks guys. The grit guard, are you supposed to rub the sponge against it?
Today I washed with the BRS and one bucket. When I went to dry off with the waffle weave, it still had dirt on it.

Did you at least hose-off or power wash the car before using the BRS??

This happens when using the BRS on a dirty car. The sponge just loosens up the dirt and pushes it around. The drying towel actually removes the dirt. This is why I always use a rung out damp microfiber towel soaked in ONR for drying and usually use a drying aid like quick detailer to give more lubricity
