Rinseless wash sponges

I'm talking about the debacle from a couple weeks ago here, maybe it didn't make national news

The thing that got me is your first swipe across a panel is the most abrasive swipe whether you're using a towel or a sponge.

Think about it, if you make 2-3 passes over a dirty panel you're moving the same amount of dirt across that panel whether you use a towel or a sponge. A pre-soak helps with lubrication here but the amount of dirt is the same.

If you're confident you've rinsed your sponge well after those 2-3 passes you should be in good shape for your next pass. With a towel, you just flip to a clean side and you're starting fresh. But as you start the next panel that's essentially still the same amount of dirt you're moving across the paint whether you use a towel or sponge.

I think where you run into trouble is if you have a "sticky" rinseless wash and use a single mitt or towel. If the dirt is building up on your mitt, then at some point you're starting with *more* dirt between your towel and paint, similar to if you just went ahead and washed a bunch of panels without rinsing your sponge, or flipping your towel.

Finally used the Rag Co ultra black today. It was interesting to say the least. Not sure what to think. I’ll try it again tomorrow on the other car and in the future as I decide what I think.

Felt the same. I like it for dusty or slightly dirty cars. Even in some pass that I’ll use a MF for the problem areas and then sponge in rest of areas.

Did try it the next day on the other car. Still not sold but plan to keep using it for a bit to give it a fair trial.

Mine was delivered a couple of weeks ago but haven't had a chance to use it yet.



After use, do you wash these like any other wash media, or just rinse it out and leave it to dry?

I've been wondering about the same thing.

I take mine in the shower to further clean it better

Rinse thoroughly. Every once in awhile clean with APC rinse and let dry.

So misread someone that soaking in -N-914 removed staining from BRS. Tried it but didn’t work. Again misread post.

Stained before rinse.






After N-914 soak:






Then remembered how Feynlab Pure Rinseless pulled browning out of clean MF towels so soaked in that.

Feynlab PR:






Seemed to work pretty well.
