Any other guys with big hands?

Well, I have been running into a problem lately, it doesn't really hurt my detailing ability, but is an annoyance to me. I'm 6'2" and have some pretty big hands, with long fingers. Stretched out, it covers up a regular sized sheet of paper quite well (but is still a bit smaller).

I was wondering what you guys with big hands use for wash mitts? I have a couple right now, but have a tough time getting my hand into them, and sometimes feel a bit confined on the inside.

I use chenille wash pads instead of mitts, maybe you could grip those better?

I never really put them on & works fine. Faster too!

I just fold the elastic inside and use the mit as more of a pad. It really speeds up the process.

learn something new everyday. i also just use the outside but had never thought of putting the elastic in side the pad. thanks GSRstilez that was a good thought and suggestion.

Also check out the Viking Handi-Grip applicators for applying stuff by hand! They're super easy to hang on to! Also found that MF applicators are pretty easy too. I hate those little yellow foam discs.

I cut the cuffs off completely and use them as pads. That way the stiff cuff never has a chance to do harm.

I tried, for the first time last weekend, one of the yellow microfiber wash 'blocks' at Target. Don't have a picture of it, but the thing literally looks like a cartoon drawing of a dog bone. It's great though, since it's easy to hold on to, and does a great job.

most of the sheepskin mitts are fairly large and work great

I'm in the same boat, bout same height too, so I know where youre coming from. I've found some chenele wash mits in stores around me that, well, arent really mits. They're actually big rectangles with elastic on the end so it stays on your hand. Work better than a mit IMO because you dont have to drag the whole thing across the car, just the edge, and they seem plenty big for me.
