I've been using the Cobra Bone for a while now but recently tried the Lake Country Grout Sponge. I feel that it is very hard compared to the Bone and I hear rubbing sounds when I wash my car. It doesn't seem to mar paint but I'm just curious if the rubbing sound is common...

bought a few of these when they first came out and used one a few times before giving it away and trading the other one (didn't care for it). i prefer the lowes proline or home depot GS instead...

interesting in knowing more about this. I have two on my wishlist order and I would like to know if indeed does this product create marring or not before I order.

Personally I prefer LC. However, I use also Lowes. I score the surface of the grout sponge into little squares (like LC) with a utility knife and metal rule. Really works great. somebody suggested this in a thread awhile ago. Don't remember who to credit.

What is the reason for using a grout sponge?

I did the same thing and cut squares into the sponge I got at home depot. I like it because it doesnt hold any dirt after pulling it out of the rinse bucket. I haven't noticed any marring on my silver car but didn't hear any rubbing sound either.

okay, thanks Doug, but what I was really trying to ask is what are you guys using a grout sponge for, to wash your cars? Remove bugs?

Oh! I use mine for wash, especially rinseless. I use opti-mit for horizontal surfaces.

I have a lambs wool mitt that I use only occasionally now. The sponges are easier to maintain and they release dirt really well.

Okay, thanks Doug. I'll have to try these sometime :props:

Lowes proline is softer than the opti mitt and definitely a WIN
I too cut squares and it holds and releases dirt eay
