## Description

The Big Red Sponge's cross-cut design traps dirt and grime, while its porous foam holds more cleaning solution for faster, safer application, outperforming imitations.

Review: Old dog learns new tricks - Around 30 years ago, I used to detail high end cars for showrooms but in the intervening years I have changed careers several times and there have been changes in automotive paint types necessitating a different approach to cleaning and detailing vehicles. Changing cars recently after a 9 year ownership using a bucket, hosepipe and chamois leather made me question whether there was a better way. Checking out You Tube channels suggested there was! Optimum no-rinse solution in a large bucket with grit guard plus a big red sponge together with a quantity of drying towels is now my preferred approach and gives very satisfying finish. The sponge may seem expensive at first but a professional detailer I know says that he only changes sponges once a year (based on constant daily use).
Review: quality product - for use with ONR Optimum No Rinse for rinseless washing of car in situations in summer where hosing and pressure washing is antisocial - see BRS or Big Red Sponge on You Tube Tutorials especially those offered by The Rag Company or Obsessed Garage... the two products go hand in hand

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this sponge better for a Rinseless wash or microfiber eash mitts?**
A: I have used this sponge between 2 bucket washes and it has been great. I prefer it to using 8-10 mitts. I would only recommend use if the car is very slightly dirty or dusty. Must be used with ONR or similar. I have found best to spray some ONR on the car first leave for a couple of minutes and wash with sponge in one direction only and rinsing after each panel. When used correctly the sponge has shown no problems with scratching. You may know all this but it is the technique that is as important as the sponge.
