First time trying PO85RD on a full detail. I knew it'd be good, but it totally blew me away! Sponges also kinda suck to use to wash cars. Back to sheepskin mitts for me. I've never felt so much buffer hop since I've gotten my 3M backing plate. I'm going to hope I never get these anymore!

WELL look at this If that clay wasn't nasty enough, CHECK THIS! WELL not to worry, SpecC makes progress! ^this is before sealant/wax. Just passed with SIP and 85RD I forgot to take pictures of the engine bay before i washed it, so here it is. washed... and dressed! Mirror before then after! headlights too?! WHY YES! After LSP These are some fat tires too tires + Swissvax Pneu FTW! and clean wheels! wow that is black WOW! Man those hood shots are cool. How about another? Yeah that's bad ass. Enjoy!
thanks! the zymol sponge is pretty soft and soaks up a lot of water/suds. it glides off the paint very easily, but it doesn't compare to the sheepskin mitts. I think it'd be great for ONR washes, which is what I'm going to try next. thanks p1et!
