MF washmitts- what are they good for?

[The Chee]

I got two, the lack of naps makes me reluctant to let them touch my paint:wait

I got 1 but just use it as a soft mitt to clean my wheels only.

They are not good for washing. Use them for dusting or cleanign the interior or something.

[EBPcivicsi]

I use them for a final wipe down in the initerior and if the car is REALLY LIGHTLY dusty I will use one with S&W and a bucket of QEW.

I do not wash with one.

I love MF ofr windows and removing wax, but I have some waffle weave ones on the way to try for drying the cars.

For washing I have a natural wool mitt and sea sponge

Thanks guys appreciate it, I think I`ll just use them for the rims or interior, and use the two sheepskin mitts for washing :)

I bought two for interior work.

IMO they only look like wash mits due the the elastic wrist band but they`re actually used for interior dusting. Yes, they`re soft but the low nap will not allow them to carry an adequate amount of soapy suds from bucket to surface.

I`d stick with wool or 100% cotton chenille wash mits for exterior washing.

Well........I love them for washing :)

[Porkanbeans]

I use them to clean wheels and stuff.

which one do you have?dftowel, pakshak, poorboys etc?
Notice any new scratches?

ps: I just remembered I have another blue one from poorboy`s, if I`m not mistaken that MF mitt is pretty plush, I`ll check tomorrow at my parents` home.

Love my ultra microfibre wash mitts. Have used them for several months now with absolutely no problems.

[AudiOn19s]

I have the blue rectangular MF mit from Autofiber.com which has quite a bit of nap and quite plush. I`ve nad no problems with scratching and it`s held up for an entire season with washing after EVERY use. I have purchsed other MF mits similar to the poorboys mit and others that I have found locally with virtually no plushness or nap that are only used for interior work but my good mit is fine for washing.

a lot has to do with how dirty the car is...if you are talking about a garage queen with some dust, there`s no problem using a mf wash mitt , but if there is grit and dirt, then mf is designed to suck in dirt and does not easily release it without a thorough washing, thus you can easily scratch or marr the surface...I do know some people with very expensive street rods that use them with S & W for a quick wipe down of the paint, but most people get them for interior use on seats and dashes...
