I too have an 04 G35 Coupe (soft paint!) in a much more forgiving color... Desert Platimun. And well I have to admit I tried the grout sponge Tuesday night.
I really liked it but disliked it at the same time.
First of all it does hold a good amount of solution which worked well on the horizontal surfaces BUT on the vertical surfaces it dropped entirely too much solution to the garage floor (which sucks for me because I have dyno tile in the garage so I felt I had to mop up the solution). The solution that fell to the ground came from the back side of the sponge so the solution didn’t even touch the painted surface†its immediate destination was the floor which was already clean :hmph:
My sponge didn’t seem to rinse out that well. It was still discolored by the grime even after aggressively dunking, squeezing, and massaging it out in the solution.
Is this what is considered “normal†when people state it rinses cleanly?
Did you notice any marring or scratches after using the sponge? I noticed some scratches which I didn’t *think* were there BUT I was inspecting the paint really well so it’s possible (more like probable) that they existed already.
I will try it again but modify its use some. I may use it as a “second swipe media†after the sheepskin to clean the surface thoroughly. Because as you stated Cassman it seems like it cleans the surface well which was nice.
After this I applied Danase Wet Glaze and AquaWax... the car still hasn`t dried from the ONR session Tuesday night
:chuckle:
