Default Elastrofoam

My Ultima Elastrofoam just arrived today.



Looks like a great alternative to conventional clay barring.

Finished "barring" with Elastrofoam today and my truck looks sweet.





Easy to work with and great results.

Do you spray it on and then just use the sponge to wipe it off? More info .

Yeah. It really is that simple.

Once washed and dried, just work one panel at at time. Spray with lubricant and "bar" (go over) the panel with the Elastrofoam sponge. Then dry your panel with a microfiber.

When the "clay" surface of the sponge gets dirty, just rinse in clean water and wipe with a microfiber.

I rinsed the sponge after every panel to be sure of no marring and went through 5-6 microfiber towels.

I did the "ziplock bag test" and my truck feels smooth as glass. Even my rockers are in awesome shape now.

More info (video) can be found on YouTube. That is where I first heard of this product.
