ONR wash

should i use a grout sponge or microfiber chenille wash mitt for an ONR wash?

my car is covered in pollen and i have decided to do an ONR wash tomorrow. I have used a mf chenille wash mitt in the past with ONR, but i forgot that i had a LC grout sponge underneath all of my applicators.

any advice is much appreciated :thumb:

 

Lake Country Grout Sponge is the shit for ONR washes. If the car has lots of salt, then I suggest a micro chenille wash mitt (the one with hundreds of little "fingers").

 

either or should be fine. i personally use a grout sponge when i ONR.

 

I'm partial to both on the same wash. I use the grout sponge for the upper half of the car then a LC sponge with all the little cuts in it to help grab and hold the debri from the lower half, might take longer but I want to keep as much crap out of the sponge that will imo show more wash induced defects.

 

I typically use the Proline grout sponge or the Zymol sponge.

 

Tried both and personally like the chenille wash mitts I got from Griots the best. I was always worried about something catching in the sponge but not sure why exactly. Like the fact that I can toss the mitts in the washer after each wash and have a clean one each time.

 

grout sponge

 

zymol or grout

 

I've been using a grout sponge for ONR until I tried the Eurow mf's, super nice for ONR jobs and many other functions.

 

Are those the thicker blue towels? If so I won one last season from another detailing site, I will have to give it a try.

 

how do you guys wash the sponges?

 

Not sure which ones you mean.

 

If its stained from the ONR, just use any regular soap and it should release the stain.

 

the small contaminants seem to be stuck on the sponge
