Hello,
I`m pretty new to detailing, but I recently received two sheepskin mitts from autogeek. I also have a Griot`s sheepskin washmitt. I thought it might be worthwhile to post my initial observations.
First impressions, the autogeek mitts are small compared to Griot`s. That was a bit of a let-down, I`m thinking I should have ordered 4 instead of 2.
Also, Griot`s mitt seems to be `thicker`, it has very long strands. However, this could be misleading as autogeeks seems to have more `curled up` strands.
To the touch, autogeeks mitts are softer, Griot`s feels a bit more `stringy`. I don`t know how else to describe the feel. This is where I was really impressed with the autogeek mitt, even though both can be called soft, the autogeek mitts really have a nice feel.
The autogeek mitts are beige in color, Griot`s is ivory/white. I think Griot`s will be easier to see small dirt build up. The autogeek mitt also has a `thumb`, I`m not sure if thats good or bad, Griots is `flat`
Cost wise, you can order autogeeks in bulk, but one autogeek mitt is still a bit cheaper than Griot`s. If I recall correctly, autogeek shipping was quite a bit cheaper than Griot`s, but perhaps someone can verify that is true in general.
I have yet to use the autogeek mitt, so hopefully I`ll be able to post further comments soon. I want to test which mitt holds and distributes suds well and also rinses easily. One thing is since Griot`s mitt seems to have more thickness large dirt particles could get hidden, but I`ll have to test it out.
