-
Sponge Grip
The orange backing provides a handhold while retaining cleaning liquid.
-
Compact Pad
The illustrated dimensions are approximately 8.5 × 5.5 × 2.7 cm for controlled work in small sections.

Highlights

Two Layers for Detailing Work
The dark textured face is the cleaning layer, while the orange sponge forms the grip. The example illustrates wet use; keep the surface lubricated and follow its actual care instructions.

Compact Sponge Backing
The illustration shows the pad from both sides. The displayed dimensions are approximately 8.5 × 5.5 × 2.7 cm; the vehicle and multiple views are illustrative rather than a multi-pad pack.
Inspect Before Reuse
Rinse away contamination from the cleaning face. If you cannot remove the grit, retire the pad rather than rubbing it across the finish.
Compatibility
| Model | Years / Version | Notes |

| General detailing use | No mounting fitment. Use only on surfaces whose manufacturer permits this decontamination method. |
For Tesla finishes, follow the relevant owner’s manual: it warns against cutting pastes, color-restoration compounds and harsh abrasive polishes. This pad is not a color-restoration or scratch-repair product.

- Glide the cleaning face lightly over a small section. Reapply lubricant and rinse often; stop if there is drag, trapped grit or marking.
- Rinse the section.
- Rinse the pad thoroughly, squeeze out excess water and air dry in a cool shaded place. Inspect its surface before the next use.
Good to Know
Caution
- Not for matte paint, wraps or protective coatings.
- Stop if it drags, marks the finish or holds trapped grit; rinsing after a drop does not guarantee all abrasive debris is removed.
- Keep this decontamination pad away from camera lenses, sensors, displays and delicate trim. Glass use requires the glass manufacturer’s approval; do not scrape glass or mirrors.
Care
- Keep the cleaning face free of grit.
- Rinse with clean water after use, squeeze out excess water and air dry away from direct heat.
FAQ
Is this an ordinary wash sponge?
It has a polymer decontamination face as well as sponge backing. Use that cleaning face only where the surface manufacturer permits mechanical decontamination.
Does lubrication guarantee scratch-free results?
No. Lubrication and light pressure are essential, but grit or an unsuitable method can still mark a finish. Test first and inspect frequently.
Can I immediately reuse it after dropping it?
Clean the face carefully. A pad with embedded grit or a damaged face is not reusable; a quick rinse does not remove embedded grit.
How many vehicles will it clean?
There is no fixed service life. Reuse depends on the contamination, surface condition and the pad’s condition after cleaning.
