    BRS - Big Red Sponge

    Used the BRS for the first time today. Gonna need a little getting used to. Somewhat different from using just the microfiber towels.

    To keep the Big Red Sponge soft do not let it dry out. The BRS needs to always be soaking in ONR at all times to keep it soft

    Keeping it in the bucket with ONR, Because there is still product (ONR), do you use the same product from the wash or begin with new ONR. Feel guilty leaving it in a bucket with some dirt in it.

    I keep it soaking in a bucket with clean ONR

    Re: BRS - Big Red Sponge

    I've been using the multiple towel method with rinseless for a while now and I generally like it. What I don't like too much is constantly folding and managing towels. It's not that bad, but still, one has to be careful about folding properly, etc. Also, doing an additional load of laundry is there as well when doing this method.

    I'm wondering about the BRS. It looks like a faster way but I'm wondering how can it be more safer than a medium/deep pile microfiber towel. From my perspective, which is very limited, a MF towel seems to have more "space" to hold dirt compared to a sponge-based product. Also when using the BRS, how does one really know if the dirt is not being reabsorbed by the sponge. Please correct me here if I'm mistaken. I'm just thinking of things that I don't know about.

    The BRS is very intriguing though. It seems to release the dirt well and also seems to clean well. I'm just wondering about using this on cars that are polished. I'm hesitant about scratching up cars while washing so I'm not sure. Maybe I just need to try one and see how it does.

    Appreciate any feedback.

    To make sure the BRS does not scratch the paint, just rinse it out in the ONR bucket after every panel and you should not have a problem

    it is completely different than a Meguiars Wash Mitt. The wash mitt feels soft and very similar to a thick microfiber towel. The Big Red Sponge is very thick and not very soft unless it is always soaked in ONR at all times. Even soaking in ONR at all times, it still won't fit in tight places like door handles since it is so thick. The advantage of the BRS over the Wash Mitt is the BRS releases dirt much faster due to it's design

    Are you using the BRS with ONR doing a Rinseless Wash or are you using it with traditional car soap? I am guessing a Rinseless Wash?
