    This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what kind of wash sponge he is using in the video when he washes the car by hand with shampoo? It doesn't look like a Mitt.

    I use a Cobra "Bone", and I'm not a small guy, but I think the "Bone" is too large and soaks up too much water, becoming very heavy and creates lots of fatigue even after 5-10 minutes of use. I am looking for something that is not as thick... Whatever Dalton is using in that video looks great and I'd love to try it out.

    It looks like the Zymol sponge!

    If you want a good wash media use the Uber sponge. Its a great size, a bit smaller than the Zymol which is nice.

    Do I need a zymol sponge? I gotta tell ya, I use the mitt from DD and love it. I have the Swissvax sponge, and it is not great. Ill take the mitt over that any day.
    Im going to look into the zymol mitt.

    Sorry for hijacking thread.

    Paul has been on the forum and I'm pretty sure he says he uses the DD sponge now.

    It's a Zymol sponge, and although it's nice, it's my second favorite sponge next to the Uber equivalent. The Uber one is a bit smaller, but slightly thicker and bounces back faster from being fully compressed when you're washing.

    I've always wanted to try one, but the Zymol ones are cheaper, but are they worse?

    The Zymol's are good but the Uber's are much better. There are a few differences as P1et has pointed out.

    As stated looks like the Zymol. I use the Uber and it is my media of choice. As far as how long they last I have one I have been using for a couple of years.

    Kaban just order an Uber sponge. You won't regret it. I have a stack of them and will never use a wash mitt again.

    Alright man. I think I definitely will. I just never liked the idea of using a wash mitt because I like to hold the sponge in my hand.

    I think it may be a 3M O-Cel-O industrial size sponge. I know in a couple other videos of his he uses it. I know he is sponsored by 3M and I thought the same thing, what kind of sponge is it???? If you go to the 3M website you can see it there. There are different shapes as well.
