We use them at work, melamine impregnated foam, just dampen them and wipe them over what you need to clean, very good at cleaning marks off your paintwork in the home without removing the paint, another thing is black shoe marks on items, can scrub with various cleaners and still won’t come clean, but dampen one of these and with little pressure the black shoe marks are gone.

Washed the car yesterday just with a shampoo wash, no polish or wax involved and pleased to say the bumpers and trim are as good as they where after the magic sponge clean so very pleased about that

Has anybody tried using a standard pencil eraser?
Tried it on mine and works wonders.

I need to sort my plastics. They're looking very dull.

Seen alot of options out there some are very expensive I tried some black Tuttle Wax last weekend while attending to some paint scratches and we'll... It isn't very affective on plastic haha
