Diana: I love the sponge it’s very durable and flexible. It holds a really good amount of water and is easy to clean after. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive because it’s just a sponge!

Daniel WyersDaniel Wyers: I used a combo of products that includes Big Red Sponge. I added 3 oz with 3 gallons of water and put some of the mix in a spray bottle. I sprayed the panels first before using a big red sponge soaked in the mix to clean the surface. In the bucket with the ONR wash i had grit guard to catch dirt and grit at the bottom of the bucket. Rubbing the sponge on the guard quickly got the sponge ready for the next panel. It didn’t take long to have my car looking nice and new again.

Peter SmithPeter Smith: I like this Red Big Sponge (RBS). and would recommend anyone who needs to do rinseless wash. (I recently do rinseless wash every weekend with this product and N-914 Rinseless Wash)
Will RBS scratch paint?
In my experience, BRS with proper use of Rinseless wash solutions including pre-treatment could minimize the risk of scratch. At least, I do not see any major scratches on my paint. Apex Detail's YouTube video tested how various wash media possibly scratch paint. Any contact wash could possibly scratch, but the author concluded that BRS does a good job.
Will dirt be really released from RBS?
Personally, BRS does a good job to release dirt. When I washed BRS in a bucket with a grit guard, black stains on BRS (dirt) are relatively easily gone. Also, I found that test of Source Garage’s YouTube channel is great. He checked whether he can find any dirt or mud on BRS using a microscope after it is washed in a bucket. As a result, he concluded that BRS does a great job and most trapped dirt is released.
How durable is it? How to clean and maintain it?
So far, I found it quite durable. I used it every weekend for a month. BRS’s quality has not changed...

Katt: I was nervous about using this on my car fearing it would scratch the paint but after 4 washes with ONR I’ve yet to see any scratches. Cleans great and not showing any signs of wear so far. Good value.

CGP-Toronto: Another tool that every detailer or car washer should have part of their arsenal. This sponge does as advertised! It is super absorbent and does not allow dirt or debris to scratch the paint. A bit pricey but for what it does, it is better than the other sponges out there that will pick up dirt, pebbles or other debris and scratch the clear coat and the paint of your car.
