Why You Shouldn't Wash Your Car With A Sponge
The vast majority of people will use a regular jumbo sponge to wash their car and initially there may not seem to be any problem with this until you consider the alternatives that are available and then ask why would there be any alternatives if a sponge was sufficient.
A sponge can effectively clean your, but at the same time it will undoubtedly be inflicting damage onto the surface of your paintwork that will show itself as a mass of light scratches & swirl marks.
The problem is that when you wash your car, even if a thorough pre foam & rinse has been undertaken, there is always going to be tiny particles of dirt still present.
Although porous to allow for the absorption of water, the general face of a sponge is flat which means that these small particles become trapped between the sponge and your cars paintwork and are then drawn over the surface and it is this that results in the fine scratching and swirl marks.
The safe alternative to using a sponge to wash your car is to use either a lambswool, a micro fibre or plush synthetic wash mitt. These wash mitts are made from long fibrous materials which draw in and hold water just as well as a sponge but they also draw in and trap any loose particles of dirt at the base of the mitt and safely away from the surface of your paintwork.
The materials wash mitts are made from are much softer than a sponge and in comparison a sponge can actually feel slightly rough to the touch.
As they are mitts they fit over the hand like a glove which gives more control during washing and eliminates the risk of dropping it on the floor which commonly occurs with sponges.
The term 'squeaky-clean' is often used to describe the sound a sponge makes when cleaning and implies that 'squeeky-clean' is a good thing. The opposite however is true, the squeak is created from friction occurring between the sponge and the surface of the paintwork and this is exactly what is not wanted when washing your car.
What you want is your wash implement to glide freely over the surface of the paintwork creating as little friction as possible and this is exactly what a wash mitt does. So next time you wash your car switch to using a good quality plush wash mitt instead of a sponge for an effective and damage free clean.
