Andrewkb Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 Guess most of you probably had seen this bright white "magic" sponge being sold everywhere. I never believed it and even grin sacastically at the TV ads! Just the other day, my dad brought a pack home and was amazed by how it clean dirt off ! Imagine a table that need "Jif" to scrub can be cleaned effortlessly. Having seen the result, I decided to try it out on my extremely dirty rims and brake caliper! Wow ! The result is highly recommended. After I did a general cleanup of my rims, I decided to try this magical sponge on the tough spots ! My car was extremely dirty at the caliper and I had tried scrubbing and scrubbing, but it never show it's original gold color before ... after a simply wipe ... I am now totally convinced. Again, it look like normal sponge and felt a bit rough ... but this thing really works ! NOTE: DO NOT USE ON CAR BODY PAINTWORK !!!!! According to my dad, it actually "ate" the red paint off !!!! Only downside is that the sponge disintegrate really FAST ! Anyone tried it ... maybe can give some feedback too ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttleb Neutral Newbie August 27, 2003 Share August 27, 2003 Some Rims are sprayed the colour with a layer of clearcoat so be careful of too abrasive agents. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
