The Ultimate Washing Sponge? Introducing the LC Wash Wedge

Just a regular guy
When I first saw it... I thought meh... looks rather... interesting...

When I first held it I thought, well at least its comfortable...

When I first felt it I thought... isn't that soft...

And when I first used it, I fell in love...

In fact, I immediately campaigned for a different name: The "Utlimate" Wash Sponge... The Concours Wash Sponge... The Wash Sponge That Could Be From Another Planet Because It's Out Of This World (<my personal favorite but this one just got blank stares and a few chuckles)...

Simply put, the Lake Country Wash Wedge is unique and it ROCKS! Perhaps not the most beautiful thing to look at, like a child stuck in those awkward teenage years, the Lake Country Wash Wedge is beautiful in that mechanical way.. Form follows function.

I have long sworn off using sponges, not because they don't work (they do), but because I prefer the ability of a sheepskin mitt or towel to clean all those hard to reach areas..

Lake Country has come up with a mechanical monsterpiece... an ultra-soft, hard-cleaning, easy-to-hold sponge that cleans every crack and crevice with the upmost in care. Ladies and gentlmen, the Wash Wedge...

Let me start with the good... The Lake Country Wash Wedge, like sponges, holds a TON of soap solution. Like most car wash sponges, it is very soft to the paint and when used lightly will prevent swirl marks and scratches...

Why start with the good? Because it only gets better... The face of the wash wedge is cutted and slotted, giving you 100's of soft foam tabs that hold gritty dirt away from the paint and increase the sponge's surface area.

But the best part is the ability of the tabs to effortless clean hard-to-reach areas while you wash, saving time and frustration.

Complex emblems? No problem.

Door handles? Piece of cake...

Around into headlight bezels, body seams and other difficult areas.. of course...

The LC Wash Wedge even made it easy to clean around, underneath and inbetween the beautiful chrome bumpers on this '66 Stingray. I reached the hardest-to-access lips with no problem, and the gold foam's soft foam provided plenty of cleaning power at big angles.

The LC Wash Wedge has all of the benefits of a traditional wash sponge, only it's better. While I love testing wash sponges, mitts, and towels (because its a difference you can feel, literaly), very few earn a spot on my roster.

What are your thoughts on durability?

Well, hard to say since I have used it once.. But the gold foam Ulti-Mitts we used to sell at PAC lasted forever. The gold foam doesn't tear very easy, so I would except/assume that these are going last a fairly long time. I spoke to Nick @ Autogeek who has been using his furiously, and he is very impressed with it.
 
I do not know why, but I am still afraid any sponge can get debris stuck and scratch. I just feel safer with a lambswool mit or a MF mitt.

Then you seem like a perfect candidate for a review! Let's see if this sponge can change your mind, shoot me your address and I'll send one over.
 
Late to the party here, but just curious if any of the other hesitant people had a chance to use theirs yet. I might have to snag one of these up! Got a new car, so I have the wanties for everything that works the best. We all know how that goes, haha.
 
Well I have used mine about two dozen times now and it is still working very well.

I wasn't paying attention and threw my merino wool mitt in the same wash batch as the LC wedge and I got to spend about half an hour picking out little tiny pieces- so DONT do that! haha

But seriously, this thing works great. I have even used it for two bucket ONR washes. Although it works much better with traditional 2 bucket method. This and the merino mitt are what I use when I do 2 bucket regular washes.

I would like one in another color (for wheels or lower body panels) and a couple that were smaller as well.
 
Ive used mine about 4 times now. Works like a charm and is easier to clean than you would expect. Getting all the little sections lined back up after cleaning really isn't that hard. Not sure if its really needed, just like mine to look almost as new as possible.

lol OCD at it's finest... I am the same exact way!!! :rofl
 
I prefer sponges too, my old grout sponge that I bought about 7-8 years ago is getting better with age. It's softer, darker in color and has a few holes/tears but it's been a faithful worker and for $1.86 - the best detailing investment I have ever bought.
