How do you use those Halford sponges that you were bought for Christmas?
« 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:
