No problem. It's just that behind the keyboard thing.

Just wondering rob. Have you tried the grout sponges. You don't need to try it on your car. You can try it on a test panel. That's what I did.

I did try it, and didn't like it. Not that I noticed marring or anything. I just prefer the way my LW mitt feels/works better.

Oh ok. Then just keep using it. No use of changing if you don't feel comfortable with it, but how come your in this thread ???

That should be obvious from my questions.
Do you think only people who sing the praises of the GS should be allowed to ask questions or make comments here?

much more fun using the GS for car duty than actual grout
I think SpoiledMan is some kinda GS sales rep reaping early retirement from the sales

MP, even if I was lucky enough to get a buck off each one. Retire? NOT! LOL
Al, I haven't used one up yet.

I've been using the Grout Sponge constantly for 3 weeks now and have noticed no new swirls or marring. When I used my Meguiars Chenille Mitt I'd have marring every wash that I'd take out with Poli-Seal. Since using the Grout Sponge I haven't even pulled out anything.
I was hesitant in the beginning, but am now definatly comfortable applying pressure and using the grout sponge.
When people ask me what I use I explain to them I use a grout sponge, and everyone gets the *** look.
A+ for Grout Sponge.

I used to get those looks. Glad it worked for you.
I hear complaints about not being able to get them into nooks/crannies but I don't have any problem doing just that with the softer sponges as they compress pretty easily.

Honestly I am not sure if the clear coat on the Lotus would be considered soft. My guess would be yes. And again, to be clear, I have not said that I noticed any marring with the GS! It just doesn't "feel" right to me, and I just get the "feeling" that it might mar the finish as it feels somewhat hard and flat compared to the soft LW mitt that I use.
Totally subjective.
Looking forward to hearing what you think after trying it on your (very cool) car!

Trying it on the LS600hL first. I'm pretty conservative with the toy. If I'm not perfectly comfortable with a product, I test it out first on the daily drivers.
Just idle curiosity regarding the Exige. Often thought about it for a track car. Nothing more sinister.

Smart man!
That's really where it shines: on the track!
It'll knock the fillings out of your teeth driving around town though.

For me the real GS test will be winter grime ONR washes. I have 4 layers of UPGP on my 4 Runner and the GS was just sliding over the surface. I plan to UPGP my BMW next week. I have the week off between jobs:woot2: :woot2:
