hedgepig Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ive never considered mitts before theres just something weird about cleaning a car using a glove, any good though? i guess it'll be harder to drop I now use a mitt to wash my car and I think it might be down to old Greeny and his fanatical washing method(s). He's right about this--I bought a Turtle wax one and it works very well indeed. Go for it and fox the foxes!!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you use the Super Thick microfibre Wash Mitt? It doesnt seem to hold much water. I could buy a box of sponges for £10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truly55 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 How'd you use the Super Thick Microfibre Wash Mitt? It doesnt seem to hold much water. I could buy a box of sponges for £10 First of all sponges are a no-no for washing your car as they introduce scratches into the paintwork as there is nowhere for the dirt to go when you're caressing your bodywork. With a wash mitt the dirt gets trapped in the fibres until you dunk your mitt again. With the microfibre wash mitt you can either stick your hand into it (glove puppet style) or just grab it. They both hold a huge amount of water and you can wash them time and time and time again without damaging them; something your can't do with a sponge as they start to break up. In terms of 10 sponges or 1 wash mitt - it's an easy choice ;) Buying cheap £1 sponges WILL scratch your car and won't last long - false economy. Rant over.

Agreed; sponges are a pain as they do scratch the car--ever since I started using the mitt no more curious unexplained scatches have appeared! Mine's the glove puppet style and it feels heavy at first but you soon get used to it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've got the Turtle Wax mit. It's great, bung it in the washing machine after I use it, had it well over a year now (even before Greeny mentioned them - how good am I?) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeJex Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I bought myself the Super Thick microfibre Wash Mitt today. Peer pressure, you gotta love it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Nah - peer pressure is saying you should get another one, one for the dirty areas such as round the arches and the very bottom of the car and one for the rest of the panels and roof.
