Re: the great sponge, wash mitt debate
Micro fiber mitt (since I read about them, sponge before this car...and for lesser cars), can't be arsed with the chamois....Run it up the bypass at about a ton, it'll blow all the water off.WelshGTA wrote:sponge. them chamois it dry. cant leave it dry on it's own leaves to many water marks

Re: the great sponge, wash mitt debate
Prefer to use a very soft brush to wash our Fiero & other motors - gets into all the door & window & trim gaps better than a sponge, and doesn't retain any grit that gets loosened but potentially trapped into sponges... ![thumb :thumb:](./images/smilies/old_thumb.gif)
