Is a grout sponge just for onr?

I tried the pro-line grout sponge on my fender of my civic today while doing an ONR wash. The car only had dust on it because it hadnt been driven since I last washed it a few days ago. I dipped the sponge in the ONR bucket and made sure it was completely full of ONR solution and lightly proceeded to wash the fender. I then blot dried the the fender and what do ya know? Straight line marring from grout sponge everywhere. Definately won't be using the pro-line GS for ONR washes.

Never had that problem and I have done around 20 ONR with the Lowes GS, including on a civic. Question - Did you wash the GS first before using it? All wash media need a good rinsing before use as they can contain some kind of residue from the factory/packaging that could swirl the paint. I also make sure that before every wash I rinse out my buckets to get rid of any dirt particles it may have gathered in storage.

I like the wool but I've often wondered if dirt gets trapped down in the fibers even though I blast it with the hose after each panel. Thanks again for the advice!

That has happened to me several times with the wool mitt, resulting in scratches. Even though the wool mitt can FEEL better, IMO, the Lowes GS is much safer.
