I would like to see a grout sponge test one a perfectly polished black car to settle the score once and for all. Polish the car, get the car pretty dirty and then wash wth a sponge. Good pictures before and after.

I don't have a black car to do soon, I have a new detail I will use it on it and take some shots, lady called me and wants it detail cost now a factor. Check web site Unlimited Auto Detail - Home

Ask and you shall receive:

Paint polished, sealed
Car driven in rain, washed with ONR and GS
Picture taken with these results. Remember that these cars have really soft paint.

i personally like the Lowes better, but you can't go wrong with either of them!

I detailed a ( 02 ) 4dr saturan car light blue, used the Proline professional tile & grout yellow sponge from Lowes. Holds lots of suds, the dirt does get trapped into the pores of the sponge, rinsed in a 2nd bucket and dirt and debris was released from the sponge. Glides on surface very easy, after washing I used the sponge with the soap NXT and squeezed the suds onto the surface and clayed the surface, holds lots of suds came out nice no marring. I also have the other one Lowes carries Tilesolutions it's orange in color and larger, will use it tommorrow on another detail I have schedule and blue van (03), will do another write up on them too. Price for porline is $ 1.87 the Tilesolutions $ 2.24 a piece, get yourself a few.
