The conversation evolved into finding the right dog brush to comb the wool mitt used to wash the car…I get it, we are all sick in the head when it comes to maintaining our vehicles. However, the overall goal is to wash the car, scratch free, in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible, right? If you agree, please don’t grab your pitch fork when I say that I have been using a natural sea sponge to wash the car and could not be more pleased.
I admit, even a large sea sponge does not compare in size to the merino wool mitt, which is like stringing 4 cats around your wrist to wash the car. However, a large sea sponge holds an insane amount of soap and water, is extremely soft once wet and most importantly, releases the dirt picked up off the car seamlessly, making it very safe on my vehicles’ finish. I don’t need a grit guard, just squeeze the sea sponge out a few times in rinse water and EVERYTHING is released. I have even washed my nasty, brake dust-ridden rims with the sea sponge and it releases it all, no problem, within seconds. I’ll get off my soapbox now but am curious, has anyone else tried a sea sponge?
