A Better Grout Sponge

I think the one that I saw at Lowe's for $2.60 was the XL version of the Pro-Line sponge. It didn't seem as soft to me and it was a bit larger than the version that I bought.

I was also concerned with the GS from Lowes, but once it's wet it's very soft and safe on your finish.

$2.60? They usually go for around $1.87 or less and are found with the cleaning supplies (mops, brooms, etc) Did you get the right one?

Pretty sure I did...I'll have to go double check!
 
so Lowes's GS is softer/better than the Home Depot's GS? Lowes is located 20 miles away from me while HD is like 4 miles away!! hahaha...is there any where else to get the proline GS?? Sears?? Target?? Wal-mart?? Costco??

only at lowes that i'm aware of...
 
I haven't tried the Home Depot sponges yet. I intend to get a few for the lower panels that get caked up with mud. Lots of construction in my neighborhood=lots of mud when it rains. Detaildoc, which sponge do you use for your wheels? Home Depot or Lowes?

For the wheels I prefer the HD GS because it is a bit harder. To clean between the spokes I use the EZ Detailing brush. You can also cut up the sponge in smaller pieces and use that.
 
Conclusions after two washes today - Lowe's sponge takes the cake for me. However, my local HD doesn't have the "original" grout sponge - they only had the ones in the plastic. The Lowe's sponge is softer, smaller, it has larger pores, and it rinses out better. It's even a bit cheaper!

I think you can get the Lowe's sponge from their website. You could also go to your local HD and see if they have the original, unpackaged GS...

I got taken:mad: I found my receipt and took it to the local Lowes (I bought the other at a store in WI on a business trip). Used the extra money to buy an extra:D Thanks for saying something!
 
I finally got a chance to do a traditional wash the GS using Z-7, and wow... the cleaning ability is very good! All the bugs swiped right off, and the GS holds the suds 3x more than my MF wash mit. I think this will stay in my detailing arsenal for a long time!



Lowes GS FTMFW!!!

Good for you. So you did get the right one afterall, but they had charged you more? Well, you invested that refund wisely.
