Default What kind of brush/sponge should I buy?

Hey all,

I was wondering what kind of sponge/car mitt thing-a-majing I should order? I need something to wash the car itself with (currently using a giant spong but its a bit dirty). I also need something good to clean rims with, like a brush or whatever..

Any good recommendations?

Good recommendation. I only use good sheepskin mitts on paint, but a quality MF one is fine too. Don't forget a quality shampoo as well - something with plenty of lubricants and sudsing ability to lift the dirt off the finish.

I dont think you'll be dissappointed. the mitt is very soft and it traps quite a bit of dirt. I use it with ONR and DP Extreme soap (w/foam gun). Both gave me results without creating more swirls.

DP extreme + ONR inside the foam gun is a great combo.

I always use a MF sponge and towels. I always used the foam sponges back in the day and I'm very happy with the MF sponge.. GL..
