Thank you for the feed back Pooter, I will follow your instructions to the "T". I'm so exited to use it, this weekend it's the Lexus turn to get pampered :beerbang: I'll report my experiance with the sea sponge :thumb:
This is my favorite wash sponge, I dont use it anymore because of the price, I think I may start again. This sponge is PERFECT for maintenance washes but not too good if the cars really soiled.
arent those the same ones sold at lowe's?? i was doing some painting and saw them there. maybe they are different type because they were kinda cheap, starting at like 5 dollars
You know what I've been preping the poor sponge for a few days now, one quick rinse and it will be good to go for this weekend :thumb: :thumb: I'll be using it this weekend :cheerl: I'll give you some feed back soon :cheers:
I have a sea sponge, but actually prefer the grout sponge because it fits better in my small hands. I actually don't know why the sponges has that much sand or grit in it, as most sponges grow on rocks or rocky outcrops they don't grown on the sand. I think it's part of the harvesting procedure that actually gets the sand into them.
Sorry I forgot to post how it went, I spent several days preping the sea sponge and washed the Volvo with it. I really like it, it has a completely different feel then anything I've used so far. I need to use it some more to get used to it though...but so far I like it and will keep on using it some more :thumb: A big thank you to Pooter for sending me the sponge, Pooter thank you :worship2: :worship2:
Are the sea sponges that are sold at paint, arts and craft stores, and even bath stores the same as the ones sold at Autogeek and other car stores? I have seen sea sponges at local stores and wondered if they are the same? They usually cost about $10 compared to $20 plus shipping online. They say on the sign "natural sea sponge" and sometimes "natural sea wool sponge".
Careful with those, all you need is just one grain of sand or salt and you'll have a swirl-o-matic. I got one from Autogeek last year and even though I rinsed it several times, it still marred my paint badly. Sometimes small sea particles get trapped in the many pores and they don't come out, until one day they surface right when you are washing your car and here is what you get: Now I only use the Lowes GS by Proline. The pic above is of my Lexus ES350, which has really soft cc.
I've been only using the sea sponge on my vehicles, it works really good and I'll be switching from the Zymol Sponge to the sea sponge soon. I've been testing out the sea sponge on my own personal vehicles and so far it's performed very well for me. As for marring or scratching a vehicle, I'm sure it can but if you take good care of the sponge and use the two bucket method properly you shoul be okay...but I'm still a little hesitant as I agree with detaildoc, it can cause damage. Just my :2cents: though
