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 🤣.

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.

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. 👍

[@Duncannewton-h3v]

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 .

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

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

An interesting film. I myself am not convinced as I am either a M/F mitt or pad guy now but like you I started my journey with the sponge but that was in the 70's. DIY Detailing promote using a sponge but it has a different structure to that one and predominately used I think for rinse-less washes. I think this company were brave to take a stand at Waxstock.

Someone needs to take a non swirled panel and wash it with both options then check for swirls to see if there is a difference. I think we may be shocked. I am not sure though that grit can be released from the structure of a sponge quite so easily once it is picked up. Just my opinion.

A good thorough prewash with some decent citrus and you’re laughing.

Only bringing them out of the heated garage to be cleaned and putting them straight back in 😂 Unnecessary!

When you say "for another video" at 6 mins, is that to wash a car or clean the back of your bum? 😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

lol oh yeah just noticed, too late now 🤣

[@Random-side-quests69]

My man just called out the whole of Birmingham

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

No not the whole of Birmingham just the uni 😅😉

[@glosjdm]

That sound is like nails on a black board😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It's a classic sound, reminds me of the good olds helping Dad wash the car back in the summer when i was younger

[@THE_ONE_86]

Looks like sound deadening foam 😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I saw another video from another car sponge company who said their own one was used from packaging foam, Lets not forget people polish cars with sponge pads. Poor sponge gets a hard time lol

[@benhook1850]

I just can’t bring myself to do it 😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

You can do it, I have faith in you 😉

[@davida6520]

Nothing new as we've been receiving our machine parts with those sponges for years.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Fantastic stuff best news I've heard all day 🎉🥹

[@Nazouf]

Yes sponge is bad

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Depends how much people like their cars, there was a lot of positives to take from this as it wasnt a typical sponge you would find in halfords. I still need to keep using it on the odd car to see what long term durability is like

[@craigdeakin7956]

mate why over complicate car washing .Making a video of a sponge,Ive been cleaning vehicles since 1984,Its just a valet thats got turned into a money grabbing Detail O.M.G

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Me??? I'm not the one who made the sponge. I actually agree it's way too overcomplicated that's why I try to simplify as much as possible in my videos. It's just a video on a sponge I wouldn't worry too much about it I just thought it would make a different topic from the norm.

[@CVMarius]

where's the hate button? #spongebobgang

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

In the comments section I reckon 🤣
