What kind of wash mitt to use?

romac · 04-15-2009

I've used lamb/sheep's skin mitts for the past few years, but I can't seem to find them in-store here lately, plus I wouldn't mind mixing it up for once. Basically, what kind of mitt do you guys wash your car with? I'm about to give my new Stang its first wash, and I only want something soft and non-abrasive touching my baby lol. Swirls and scuffs are bad

I always try to buy the softest ones that I can find. I found some really nice ones at Costco a few years ago and they have held up really well.

I agrea about the costco stuff. A few years ago I got a kit there for like $15-20 with a big brush for the car and a bunch of smaller brushes for everything else you can think of. Works great but I use the big brush on my suv and got a soft washing mit for my stangs finish.

Yeah ever once i awhile you can find some cool car stuff there.

Ijust use microfiber stuff (e.g sponge, mit, rags etc)

Got a kit at Walmart 20 dollars. came with:
Micro fiber sponge, mit, drying towel, and 3 detailing microfiber rags. love them.

I just use a soft sponge from the auto parts store. The softest one they sell. I tried the mitt, didn't really like the result.

Really what kind of a result would you get with that.

the result is something you have to experiment with for yourself.
I think the microfiber sponge is way better than the mit. seems to get the dirt off better

the good thing about sheep skin mitt is that when riense it release all the drit, micro fibre tend to pull into the fibers.

I agree and very often you need to go over your micros for holding tiny little tree thingies... be careful, you can scratch that beauty if you don't watch your micros!!
