Brush or Sponge?

Brush or sponge debate?

Im not sure what to use? Brush is more abrasive than a sponge and so eventually micro scratches the car but a spone can pick up grit and drag it over the whole car?

What do you think? and whats the best (safest) way to wash a car?

Wash mitt.
But if had to pick between the 2 offered sponge every time. Brush is abrasive as you mentioned and a sponge can be put in the washing machine to take the majority of the crap out of it after each use.

You can get some sponges that re pretty good and don't leave swirls..

I use a mit though

Wash mit with 2 buckets, 1 for the suds and 1 to rinse the mit in before getting the mit into the suds again, you will be amazed at the crap you stop going back onto the car to scratch it....

If I'd been alowed my Exotica Red Eleganza - Tongue, licked clean.

Since I have to pick another colour, it'll have to make do with a wash mitt.

3 bucket method just adds an extra seperate bucket to do the wheels

Lambs wool wash mitt, available from The Sheepskin Shop - http://www.sheepskinshop.co.uk/productlisting.aspx?cid=42&pid=22&c=Wash%20and%20Polish%20Mitts

2 for £12, and as long as you rinse them & allow to dry naturally after use they will last ages.
