This will be the first in what I hope will be a series of articles. ”Cheap Finds” are usually locally found, or found in unlikely stores. They also tend to be unlikely products altogether – stuff that you wouldn’t think is serviceable in detailing, but actually, does a hell of a good job. –Karl
Credit for this goes to the guys on Detailing Bliss.
Sort of like ice cream, when it comes to “wash media,” everybody has a favorite. Some detailers insist on lamb’s wool mitts. Others are sea sponge advocates. There are microfiber mitts, hundreds of different sponges, and all sorts of “clever” ideas that often don’t work. I’ve tried a handful of different wash media, and I keep returning to a grout sponge you can buy at Lowe’s Home Improvement for two bucks.
It’s perfectly sized. It’s large, but not so large that you empty your entire wash bucket using it to wash the roof of a small car. :) It’s super soft. It fits your hand well. It creates a lot of suds when you squeeze it. And don’t forget…it’s two bucks! I wish I could remember who it was that originally discovered this little gem. It wasn’t me.
