LC Blue Wash Sponge vs Pro Line GS

Today I had a chance to try out the new LC Blue Wash sponge and compare it to the Euro Line GS. I must say that I am very disapponinted in the LC wash sponge. To start, the sponge just doesn't seem to fit in my hand properly even with the cutout on the sides. It is also very difficult to maneuver into very tight spaces.



Here some of my other observations:



1. The sponge does not hold near as much wash solution as the Pro Line GS. The Euro Line GS holds a ton of water and is very easy to squeeze and release the wash solution onto your finish.



2. The LC wash sponge was very hard to squeeze in and out of the water making it very difficult to flush with fresh water. The Pro Line is so much softer and easy to manipulate. With the LC sponge I found myself having to almost rinse it out with two hands.



3. I feel that the Pro Line GS is much softer as well.



Halfway through my detail I gave up and went back to my GS. I got 2 of the LC wash sponges at a very good price when they first came out so I guess I will find a use for them.



I seem to be bitten by the need for better wash media and find myself trying everything that comes out. Schmitt, LC Ulti Mitt, LC Wash sponge, etc. To this date, after trying all these I still find myself going back to sheepskin mitts or the Pro Line GS.



For the price at $1.97 the Pro Line GS can't be beat.
 
Thanks, Pat. This product got some hype when it came out then disappeared off the radar. I'm glad I can pass over this one with a clear conscience, cuz I got way too many sponges/pads/mitts as it is!

I'm not familiar with the ProLine GS. Is it different than the HD GS?



David..I have used both the HD GS and the Pro Line GS. The Pro Line is much better. Fits in your hand better, is softer, and seems to release dirt much better.
 
Here you go David...

Look for them in the cleaning supplies aisle.
 
my experience has been pretty much the same and it's too thick (should be 2 inches thick instead of 3 inches)...

agreed...
 
Which sheepskin mitt do you go back to? I have found the bmw branded one is the most luxurious mitt I've ever handled and has a cloth ribbed cuff to boot, not cheap at 22 bux but my fav so far.

Hi Pat,



What's your thoughts on the Shmitt also?



I liked the wheel schmitt but the regular wash schmitt didn't fit my hand all and I found it much more easier to wash with a sheepskin mitt or GS.
