QJUTSU Ultrasoft Sponge

Work with a well-lubricated shampoo solution at the correct dilution. Load the sponge, wash one panel at a time using straight overlapping strokes rather than circular motions, and rinse the sponge in a separate rinse bucket frequently. This keeps the wash media clean and reduces the risk of introducing swirl marks.

Yes. The soft top layer is gentle enough for ceramic-coated surfaces. The triple-layer design traps dirt before it can be dragged across the hydrophobic coating, so it will not compromise the slickness or surface bond of your ceramic layer.

It works on glass and painted or clear-coated trim without issue. For wheels, especially if they carry heavy brake dust or fallout, it is better practice to use a dedicated wheel mitt or brush to avoid transferring contamination back onto paint panels.

Any high-lubricity pH-neutral shampoo pairs well. If you are washing a coated car, use a shampoo that is safe for ceramic and will not strip the top-up sealant or coating layer. A good foam consistency in the bucket helps the sponge glide and encapsulate dirt effectively.

Rinse it thoroughly under running water after every wash, squeeze out all shampoo residue and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Do not wring it harshly or use hot water, as extreme heat can distort the foam layers over time.

The two-bucket method is exactly the setup this sponge is designed for. Load from the shampoo bucket, wash a panel, rinse in the rinse bucket, agitate over a grit guard, reload and repeat. The triple-layer construction means less dirt is retained in the sponge between rinses.

A microfibre wash mitt typically offers longer pile fibres for better dirt encapsulation, while this sponge provides a more traditional hand-feel with the advantage of very soft, layered foam. Both approaches work well when used with correct technique and adequate lubrication. Preference often comes down to personal feel during the wash.

With proper rinsing, gentle handling and correct storage, the QJUTSU Ultrasoft Sponge should give many washes before showing wear. Replace it if the foam layers begin to separate, tear or develop a rough texture, as any degraded surface could increase the risk of marring paint.
