the LC Grout sponge is not a good idea. use a fluffy microfiber wash pad. Foam guns are the truth. i use it every time i wash her. she looks good.

I know, I don't know what I did wrong. I uploaded the pix to CL and posted them here. Not sure where I went wrong

Do you have a link to one? I had a Sheepskin wash mit and hated it. After using a few other products, I found I liked the grout sponge bc of how soft it was and how easily I was able to get the debris off of it. Foam guns are so awesome but I can't wait to get a power washer. U get a much better lather
