Shag Pad - Microfibre-Covered Wash Sponge (Wash Bone)

• Dense, microfibre-covered sponge that lifts dirt away gently
• Covers a large surface area, speeding up your wash process
• Foam innards hold a lot of wash media for good sluicing effect
• Soft, plush texture protects paintwork
• Easy to maintain, hand wash or throw it in the washing machine

1. Fill your wash bucket with warm water and shampoo
2. Submerge the Shag Pad until fully saturated
3. Wash the car panel by panel, starting from the top and working down (leave the dirtiest areas until last)
4. Rinse the pad in a second bucket of clean water to release trapped dirt
5. Once the pad is clean, repeat steps 2-4 until you have finished washing the whole car
6. Afterwards, rinse the car thoroughly and dry (our Dry Hard towel is perfect for this!)

Why use a wash bone like this, instead of a mitt?
Sponges can compress dirt against your paint, so covering them in deep pile microfibre to create a 'wash bone' removes this danger. You then get the benefit of that absorbent sponge core - metering out wash water to sluice away dirt. They can be easier to clean than sponges too, because dirt won't migrate into them so far. The only disadvantage compared to a mitt is that they need to be held the whole time; you can wear a mitt but you have to hold a bone.

Can it scratch paint?
Not if used correctly and kept clean. Rinse it frequently to release trapped dirt, and wash it fully after use.

Is it machine-washable?
Yes, give it a good rinse to get rid of large pieces of debris, then put it in with your microfibres (30-40 degrees, non-bio liquid or dedicated detergent like Furry Liquid, NO fabric conditioner or softener... tumble dry at low temps after).

How long will it last?
With proper care, a wash bone may outlast a mitt as there's no cuff to stretch. Don't leave it soaking in a bucket after use - this could rot the stitching and shorten its lifespan.
