That's the only thing I will use.

The problem with sponges is that they cause fine scratches and swirl marks on car body work, this is because the surface of a sponge does not allow grit to be lifted away from the surface of your car, it just drags dirt and grit along the surface, creating swirl marks 
Zymol do produce sponges that are safer, but most people who know that sponges are generally a bad idea use lambs wool mitts or plush micro fibre cloths and towels. This is because they have a deep pile which allows grit to be safely lifted from the paintwork, deep into the mitt or towel, leaving your paintwork cleaner and unharmed!
It makes me cringe to see people using sponges on their cars, any car, but this is no more true than when i was at 'Meridien Modena' in Lyndhurst afew months ago and a member of staff was cleaning the grey 430 scud they had for sale with a sponge I really wanted to stop him, but didnt want to be 'that guy' and tell the man how to do his job.
You think thats bad, someone once told me they saw a guy cleaning his 430 at and ASDA CAR WASH Zymol do produce sponges that are safer, but most people who know that sponges are generally a bad idea use lambs wool mitts or plush micro fibre cloths and towels.

oh lord you must be special. you used the scouring pad that scrapes all the crap off of baking trays etc on a lambo?
that must be one of the most retarded things i have ever heard.
and all the stuff you then went over it with which you think has got rid of it has more than likely just masked the problem until you wash it again and then see it in the sunlight and realise it is all still there.

Saying that though, having detailed a few brand new astons and seeing what they look like when they are handed over, i dont think the owner would have noticed much difference lol.
