Title: How do you use those Halford sponges that you were bought for Christmas?
Post by: andyr on 07 April 2013, 08:51

Just to lighten the fairly oppressive mood here at the mo!

I've used mine to wash the car....... interior arm rests and seats with 'Scotchguard' fabric cleaner... works a treat on those hard to remove water stains from opening the doors in the rain!  :cool:

Cut them up into strips and use them for tyre/trim dressing applicators.

Use them with a 'dirty' bucket for cleaning inside wheel arces etc


I have 2 clean buckets for washing body and wheels and a dirty bucket with old kits and sponges for underneath the car

Burned them  :angry:

Seriously, always keep one for really sh!tty jobs, wheel arches etc. my family friends etc have given up on buying me anything adhoc to do with my car, unless they have strict instructions on what to buy  :whistle:

Good for cutting up and using to apply tyre gel etc.

I scrub my balls with them.
Obviously extra large sponges...

I find the best way of using them is chop them in half, one half for wheel cleaner and scrubbing and the other half for the dog to chase to save it eating the hose.

Just don't mix them up half way through, I find the dog doesn't appreciate wheel cleaner!!

I use my halfords sponge to clean my halfords tools before I put them back in the halfords tool chests.
