I thoroughly cleaned mine when it first arrived and never experienced an issue. Use it strictly for the lower rocker panels and front bumper. For the "paint" I`m now using the Lake Country Wash Wedge. Been in play for about 2 mos now and I love it.

flatstick- Ah, first-hand experience!

How well does the sea sponge rinse clean with the ONR?

I use real lambs wool wash mitts and pads. They are the best IMHO on highly polished paint.

I use the micro fiber dread lock type mitts in the lower rocker areas. Not experienced with sea sponges because I am happy there I am.

the sponge does not really change color much like I have seen with other wash media. ( you know how people complain about ONR staining wash media )

If the sponge does turns colors from picking up dirt during a pass when washing, it comes back to normal color quickly after hitting the rinse bucket due to the fact it releases trapped dirt with ease.

Having wiped the bottom of my wash bucket with a white paper towel it comes out spotless every time .

Have been using the sea wool sponges for years, shortly after ONR came on the scene, have not found a reason to change yet .

clean up is a breeze I just run the sponge under water when you are done and wring it out quick ( could rinse out in rinse bucket but I like to run under the sink, that is my method )
