    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    I've seen them at my HD to, I've never heard them being mentioned. Just make sure you wash it really well before using it. A lot of times sand is still stuck in them. Good luck with them! Let us know how you like it.

    I bought one but never used it. It's not a very good sponge for washing IMO. It's too small, and not as nice as the sea "wool" sponges. What you want is a sea wool sponge...either a prime sea wool wool or rock island sea wool sponge. These type come from deeper waters and are the softest most dense sea wool sponges available. For a car you want a large size than that 6"...something closer to 10" plus.

    The prime sea wool sponges are the most common and affordable. The Rock Island are top of the line sponges from depths >60'. They can get a bit more expensive.

    As someone mentioned, it is essential to prep them first before using. Good thread here on prepping a sponge.
