What's the sponge for Greeny? I thought we don't do sponges?!

[greenymk7]

halfrauds and petrol station sponges are a big no no because of the silicone added to it.

this is a zymol sponge, iv used a microfibre mitt and a lambs wool mitt so i thought i would try the other most used method of a zymol sponge to see which one i prefer i will report back with my findings and pictures after my detail on friday afternoon

I was right in thinking this is complicated

people say that as its a natural sponge its kind to the paintwork and doesnt let things get trapped into it like a mitt.

i have to say that im not sure y its not like any other natural sponge but il give it a test anyway all in the aid of helping fiesta's around the land

Look forward to your results! It sure doesn't look like what I would consider a natural sponge.

Quick Q for the experts:

When applying wheel sealant, do you to the whole inside of your alloy wheels? Just wondering as I was doing it yesterday and it's a real pain to access the inner bits - do you just do the spokes?

[greenymk7]

ideally you want to do the whole of the wheel.

i took all of my wheels off when i sealed mine and i put about 4 coats on.

if u cant be bothered then u don't have to but it will help if you do when its new instead of trying to get lots of brake dust off

Ah right, thanks greeny! Think I'll set aside this saturday and dedicate it to doing it all properly!

One other thing, has any one else noticed the paint come off the locking wheel nut on the alloys? or is that just me?

Went out this morning and couldn't resist taking some beading shots. This is what two coats of Autoglym HD and one of Dodo Red Mist can produce...
