I need a new wash mitt.

whoady4shoady · 08-06-2012, 11:35 AM

Which ones are you guys using and why?

1st · 08-06-2012, 11:40 AM

I do not have a specific brand just something soft and NOT MICROFIBER.

dmhenderson · 08-06-2012, 11:54 AM

Yeah, what he said. I think mine came from Pep Boys. 2 buckets and a grit guard and it doesn't matter much what you use for the mitt.

Ive got a lambswool one..... but dont use it. Ive noticed how ANY mitt scratches and on black it shows. I bought a pressure washer with a few different heads and a leaf blower.

Here some good tools for washing.

Grit Guard for your bucket.

many love the Uber Yellow Wash Sponge as well as the Uber Wool Wash Mitt

I have everything but the mitt. ive been washing my car myself since I bought it. Thanks for the sponge recommendation DD.

I use a grout sponge. Price makes it disposable

i use adam's car wash pad. it releases soap really nicely.

I get a 100% cotton white bath towel from bed bath and beyond -- just be sure it is a high quality one. I also cut off any borders. This has worked great for me, and I haven't had any visible scratches. Also very easy to throw in the wash machine and re-use. Obviously using plain liquid detergent, and I always run thru the rinse cycle twice.

Oh detailersdomain. You will take all of my money yet.

+1 - I have a couple of the Wash Mitts and they're great.

dmhenderson · 08-08-2012, 08:08 PM

The grit guards they sell are great too - just take it out of your bucket afterwards (esp if it's hard plastic) because the temperature changes will slowly work it down inside the base of the bucket until it breaks.

Wait....wats wrong with a microfiber mit? Is it not good to wash your car with?

I went to DDs website the other day thanks to the recommendation to spend looking to spend maybe $20. How did I end up spending $120. :-(
