Frequently asked questions
Will a wash sponge scratch clearcoat?
Any contact wash can mark paint if grit is trapped. Keep the sponge saturated, rinse it constantly, and reserve the scrub face for lower panels or use it as a dedicated wheel tool.
How should I maintain car wash accessories like sponges?
Rinse thoroughly after every wash, squeeze out excess water and let the sponge dry completely in a ventilated space before storing.
