Re: ONR Users: What kind of mitt do you use?

I use the Shmitt. I have never had a problem with it, it works great for me. Actually the only problem I have with it is the yellow comes detached from the white after several uses. If you are gentle with it, it will last a lot longer.

You are not going to get suds with ONR no matter what wash media you use.

Re: ONR Users: What kind of mitt do you use?

Long time sponge user here. Just purchased a new one from Home Depot that feels nice to the touch. After using Picus' sheepskin wash mitts though, I'm convinced that high quality sheepskin is the way to go. I've used the synthetic, over the counter models, and been bitterly disappointed. They're NOTHING alike.

Re: ONR Users: What kind of mitt do you use?

Sheepskin here for its dirt releasing ability. To me this is the most important quality of good wash media.

ya i know, i forget to say all around. I use duragloss the suds/ liquid do not soak up well in the grout sponge. one wipe motion and it doesnt even feel like its lubed and gliding.

how are these dreadlock style MF mitts? They good for ONR and regular washes? I always see these around OTC. They do not cause marring even on a black car?
