Wah how u know? Yeah i driving a black FD

[Nutty]

Coz swirl marks on Black cars are the most noticable mah.

[Maxxwell]

hey bro wat products u have?

[Sirbrian]

wrong....sponge does not cause swirl marks...

 

As long as you rinse them properly in your pail before using it again after you soak them for the next sponging....and it is important to use the pail dirt filter to reduce the chance of dirt circulation....

 

better still, use natural sea sponge...which I have been using...

[Sirbrian]

bro, sponge does not cause the swirl mark.

 

By the way, are you using pails to wash? If so do u have a grit guard in the pail? Even if you use a MF and have dirt in the pail "swimming" around, you still stand a high chance to pick them up and cause swirls while washing.

 

however if you still want to get some good MF, you can try referring to this:

Hungryforcar do have very good MF. In fact the best I'd used till to date. Especially the drying towel. Please note that during drying, there is high chance of scratching the car too unless you have good MFs that can reduce the chances.

 

If your are still keen to use sponge, I highly recommend u to use a natural sea spong just like what I'm doing. Sure almost 0% chance of swirling....plus the use of grit guard of course.

hi there

 

sorry wat is a grit guard

[Sirbrian]

it is an extremely using "filter" that you place in a typical 5 gallon pail to prevent dirt from circulating in the water as it creates a stable volume on the bottom of the pail to trap dirt.

thanks alot of the info

[Nutty]

How effective is this grit guard? I thought when we are rinsing the sponge in the water, the dirt gets stirred up as well?

[Sirbrian]

extremely effective.

 

When I reload the sponge, I will gently "scrub" across the grit guard in the pail. Till will losen the dirt from my nat sea sponge and then trap them unter the guard.

 

After each was, I will notice there will be significant amount of loose particle and dirts below the guard and also a noticble cleaner water being maintain above it during wash.

Interesting...

 

Where can I get one? How much?

[Sirbrian]

I got both my Natural Sea Sponge and Girt Guard through fellow Hungryforcar.

 

I rode on her delivery charge via the autogeeks.com website.

 

As for the price, I believe I got the sponge and 2 guards for about S$50 I think...or less...can't remember liao...maybe should as Hungryforcar.

She does sell very good MFs too. Never regretted buying them from her.
