Not to steal your thread, but has anyone noticed that after using ONR is very difficult to clean the GS? What is everyone doing to clean their GS?

wring it up.



or try pre soaking the panels before using the GS.
 
Also, I used the GS with a Z-7 wash and my GS came out cleaner than the ONR. Try some regular car wash soap in a seperate bucket.

This is common with most media when used with ONR. First, presoak panels, the sponge wont soil as quick. Second, use 2-3 GS in your wash bucket when you ONR, I find that letting the GS soak in the solution while I am using another one, enables them to rinse better. Finally, after you are done, soak them in a bucket with a strong car wash dilution or use Dawn Direct Foam.

Thanks, I've been using Simple Green diluted to clean the GS after ONR. Just another extra step that needs to be done.
 
I use 2 gs per wash and still on my original two. I don't see the need to replace it for a long time unless somehow it falls apart on me. So far only nicks and tears in the sponge.
 
i've done dozens of washes (have family cars too) and they still work as good as they did the first time i used them...

i just use it until i drop it, then it becomes a wheel and well sponge



i usually take about 8 washes before i drop one, but if i don't drop it, ill use it as long as it looks clean because ill usually wash it out in the sink, just to get the stuff out i cant see
 
I just bought a grout sponge from Osh, not sure how to tell how good the quality of sponge is.. Anyone have any Osh GS reviews? I have 2 sheepskin mitts, was planning on using 1 for upper panels, 1 for lower panels, and the GS for wheels/wheel well
 
So let me get this straight....You're just picking up these grout sponges from Lowe's and they're safe to use on your finish. They look like they could be quite abrasive.
