saw this on the tv the other day the guy live in the south East of England and runs www.miracledetail.co.uk.

I was surprised he was washing in the sun and with a sponge - must be a special sponge

I have thought about calling him and asking him what sponges he uses and also what / where I can get that bucket from!

I'd bet you it's the Zymol Sponge. Also, his bucket looks like the Autogeek bucket.

Personally, I've been using the Zymol sponge for years without issue. Even though logic dictates that sponges cause swirls my car is swirl free and every car I detail is as well (at least after my first detail of it). I've also used lambs wool and sheep skin mitts with the same results. The Zymol sponge is a lot cheaper than these mitts though and if used carefully will last almost as long as a mitt.

Sonus professional bucket Or you can just use 2 buckets, 1 soapy, 1 clear. You can also buy a grit guard separately to fit in most buckets.

i think that maybe he was washing it in the sun for video purposes? filming on an overcast day does not lead to the best video results.... poor car anyways (j/k) 6k for that kind of job is unreal, but then again where talking about cars that cost around 1mill.


Quick Reply: that is some nice wax
