Car looks stunning! Yes I've thought about going touch-less. I've actually NEVER run into any issues with using a sponge but I am very careful to do a thorough rinse. I also use a second, separate designated sponge which is the same sponge I use on my wheels and tires on the lower rocker areas, lower rear bumper and exaust tips, etc. . That sponge never enters my wash media. I'm never willing to take a chance using my upper body sponge with those lower areas where grit might be hiding. I guess i just want to try the incredisponge because it sounds fun to use. Ha Ha.
