Interior detailing question

Sorry for double posting but nobody seems to read the sub forum, can someone kindly respond to my question on this thread : http://f10.m5post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=436

Question is what types of brushes, sponges, towels everyone use and if leather master's standard kit is good enough? I have a kid and I cannot keep up with the $120 swissvax every two weeks. I'm going to have to clean the leather on a daily basis.

Thanks.

Better than the Zaino Z10 which I have used for a while. Now called leather in a bottle?

I would recommend leather masters.

You can use cleaner or strong cleaner. Then leather protection or leather barrier if you have a light color interior.

You use a sponge and microfiber.
Just make sure you wash them before use with microfiber detergent. Never use fabric softener. Otherwise they are ruined/they lint.

Thanks guys my question is really which sponge, brush, and towel to use? Whats the best ones? If swissvax brush were in stock somewhere, I'd get that and the towel. The problem with sponge is it sucks all the dirt and particles inside and hard to clean, so next time it scratches your leather.

Sponges from leather masters (if I remember right), and I only use them once.

I also have a brush but forget where I got it from. Check leather masters or detailers domain or the other two major online stores

So the sponges last once?

Also, do i need a sponge if i have a brush? I thought they were mutually exclusive.
