Meguiars Ultra Plush Wash Mitt and Deep Pile Chenille Wash Mitt - Page 2

Well, I've had these two mitts for, about, 7 months, and I have some complaints... I've been starting to get lots of marring. It was especially noticeable today because the sun was out. I got so frustrated because now the car is full of marring and it just looks horrible... I'm hoping to get some new wash mitts before I do a polishing on the car. I'll probably look for cotton chenille or some kind of MF mitt instead.

From these pictures that I took a while ago, it definitely seems like the fibers have clumped up and are not as soft as before. So.. I guess this is proof of the fact that synthetic wash mitts do not perform well over time. I'll try the CD test if I have the time again.

mikebai1990,
the fibers on my Ultra Plush have really clumped up, not only does it not feel as soft or plush, it doesn't clean well now.
Currently have switched to a chenille mitt, shreds for a few times, IMO, it's no biggie, I find that it cleans better than the Ultra Plush.

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably try to find from chenille mitts instead. I personally don't mind shredding, as long as it doesn't affect the performance of the mitt and doesn't leave fibers on the car.

I hated Meg's Chenille mitt. The cotton sheds like CRAZY and it gets all over your driveway and gets stuck in the grass and never comes out. After 3 washes you can see the backing pretty easily which can't be good on paint.

I have tried both the chenille and ultra plush + several others, real lamb as well. And I really prefer the Ultra plush to all. It´s comfortable, rinses well and has not caused any marring at all. The Chenille mitt was very uncomfortable, got heavy and it sheds like crazy too, like BMW 335 wrote.

If you're looking for something cheap, the "muppet head" MF wash media at Target is pretty good. I get the pads for $2.99 ea. I would try to avoid using the low nap (MF terry) side on really dirty areas.
