I have all three. The BRS is still my favorite with the BYS a close second. The BBS doesn't flex WELL enough to flow with body panels that have different heights and ridges. Therefore I have to push harder than I want to. I have used the BBS for months, about 50 washes and it has softened up a bit, but not much, and still won't flex. They are all good, but I prefer the first two because they released the water better and follow to he body lines and curves easily with very little pressure. I wanted to try the big blue sponge, but some of the comments about how hard it is, has prevented me. Vegas to thanks for another excellent video.
Kyle Marx I feel almost exactly the same as you do but my choice is the Bug Golden Sponge and then right behind is the BRS. But ya, I feel the same way about everything else.
Yeah I’ve had 2 BRS for 7 years.. I’ve had 2 UBS and my first one shredded after 3 months. It was so weird. The foam surface itself is indeed softer, but the density kills it. I can’t get on board with it lol. I have yet to try the BYS but I want it next.
The sponges are not designed to be used on edge/end. Only use the flat sides with the cuts as it gives a place for the dirt to be pulled in. Also the second bucket with plain water is unnecessary, or at least it would be with ONR. I don't know about OP Eco Wash, but ONR causes the dirt to be pulled to the bottom of the bucket.
As soon as u put the mitt in the bucket it swishes the dirt right up and it’s all swirling around. I’d rather try n be cleaner in the wash bucket( even though it still gets dirt in it). The multiple towel method works better than any sponge. I rarely use the sponges as they take too much water. By using the multiple towel method u always use a clean towel and never reintroduce dirt. Don’t fool yourself, think about it logically.
@@DetailingBreakdown If you actually have a good grit guard not one with 2 inch holes the dirt will stay beneath it when swishing it around..plus you dont really swish it around. You dunk and squeeze.

Really good video sir. Great point about not being able to see the dirt on a black sponge, that was a eureka moment for sure. I wonder if the Rag Company thought of that until after the design was complete and thousands of them were made? Ooops. They'll still sell a ton of them because, well, it's the Rag Company. I could tell in the video that the Yellow was by far the softest of the three. McKee's once again. They really do make some great products! I have really liked just about every product I have gotten from them with the exception of just a couple. I'll definitely getting one of those Yellow sponges. I still have to buy some of that Si02 Rinseless Wash they make so guess i'll get the sponge at the same time. Congrat's on the 1,000+ subscribers. I told you it wouldn't be long before you had 1,000.

Keep it going buddy. Looking forward to the next one.
@@Sherukka Oh, I believe it, but Benji does make a very good point here though about NOT being able to see dirt particles very well on a BLACK sponge. Light colors such as white and yellow would make perfect colors because you could easily see any particles of dirt, debris, and contamination on the sponge to let you know when you either need to dunk it and clean it off or stop using that particular method althogether if the vehicle is too badly contaminated. Rinseless washes are one of my favorite types of washing but to be honest, if the vehicle has far too much contamination, it's NOT the way to go or you will definitely get scratching or micro marring when cleaning the paint. If a vehicle is that dirty, you have to go traditional and Pre-FOAM, pressure wash, and do a full wash bucket type of wash on the vehicle.
It's not the residue of the all the dirt once it hits water that you need to be worried about and that's basically what your incorporating as actual dirty grinds but it's not. You would see the actual dirt grinds better in the black just like when you have a black vehicle you could see the dust easier than any light color. Your worried about the wrong thing in your evaluation in my mind
According to Yvan who designed the red and the black one is the black one is softer and made with better foam as foam has got better over the years and he also said the black one can be used with soap and rinseless but the red one is only for rinseless and lake country actually manufacture both of them , lake country have a blue one which is like 75% cheaper aswell
@@DetailingBreakdown I haven’t got none and I’m about to buy one but don’t know which one to buy and another channel said the black is softer and that’s where I saw yvans comment and he said the same , a bit confused now which one to get
Hi, great video. I use cloths but have ordered the black sponge to try it (can’t get hold of the others). Apparently one benefit of the black sponge is that it can be used with soap/foamy products. Anyway I’ve seen a video of Yvan Lacroix also using detailing spray to dry the panels and foaming APC over the wheels and just letting that dwell whilst then cleaning the car (a decent APC shouldn’t harm the wheels if left to dwell) then clean the wheels with a brush and your solution.
I have all 4...including the esoteric... the ubs is my favorite because its soft but is dense enough to hold .. I find the yellow to floppy... saying that all are good... btw the esoteric isnt designed for rinseless.. it's to grabby on the paint and needs suds for lubrication.
Nice video but I prefer to use multiple microfiber instead of sponge ... Same method, I put microfibers in my bucket, flip in 4 and use 1 microfiber per panel than change.
I do the same but now I'm wondering if I should try these sponges. The reason I say this is that these sponges have cuts out right for the dirt to go into. With microfibers, sometimes I will not flip to a new side the moment I did a swipe because I just feels like it's wasting so much. But with a microfiber, do the fibers protect as well? I'm wondering if the spoinge would be more advantagous. I guess there's only one way to find out...
They all dry out when I’m done and it’s not like I use them a lot. I’ve probably used them a few times since this video as I just feel better with other instruments for cleaning. I still feel the same way. It’s just my opinion though.
@@DetailingBreakdown - So if given the choice you prefer a regular soap wash over a rinseless wash? I’m only asking because rinseless advocates say it’s safer & superior to regular washing because of the way it encapsulates & lubricates the dirt etc, but I don’t know. I have hammered wheels, with years of baked on dirt and brake pad iron, they have become black, I just feel this wouldn’t work on something like that.
Detailing Breakdown ur a racist, u didn’t like the black (sponge) the most😂😂😂 lmao I’m playing with ya😂😂 these liberals are wild..., college is wayyyy to liberal for me 😂🤦♂️
@@DetailingBreakdown I have the Lake Country Blue sponge. It's similar to the big red sponge. I'm not 100% sure, but i'm pretty sure Lake Country makes all of the colored sponges shaped the same (Red, Yellow, Blue) and they are distributed by different companies such as Optimum, McKee's, Detail King, and others. They are EXACTLY the same other than the colors and maybe the density of the sponge. But if you laid them all side by side, they look identical.
I have the opti gold sponge and Mckees gold sponge. Levi said they were the same and they are not side by side. Mckees is softer for one. Curious if anyone else has had both.
Detailing Breakdown yes the opti gold sponge was described as more dense but softer. Just like the UBS is described as now. I dont recall seeing Mckees’s saying their gold sponge can be used with soap? The opti gold sponge can. When Levi from the rag Company replied to me he said Lake country makes the gold sponge for Mckees and Opti. My Mckees sponge came in a bag with Redline on it. I just handled both the Opti gold and black sponge again and they feel very closely the same imo.
Actually it's not dirt grinds that you would be seeing on the others it's the dirty water you see that makes it look like your seeing dirt. Actual dirt grinds you would see more in the black sponge if anything just like having a black car being so easy to spot dust. It's not the dirty dark residue let's say that you need to be worried about its the sandy shit
@@DetailingBreakdownIs this still your ranking of them? I've only used the DIY Detail Legacy sponge and I really like it. The 2 colours is nice. I'm torn on whether I'd rather that vs having no glue separating the two halves. The glue seems to be holding up great so far and doesn't really seem like a scratch risk. I've been curious as to check out the Mckee's one. I wonder if Yvan designed that one as well and if LC produces them too.
