wool washmit...shedding

[schneider325]

while washing my cartoday i noticed that my wool wash mit that i just got shed alota fur!! it went everywere? Have any of you had this happend to you?

There are a lot of wool mitts on the market and the quality varies alot. My advice is you switch to an ultra microfibre wash mitt. Just got my first one a few weeks ago and it`s amazing. Wool is something I don`t like in detailing, IMO it`s days are numbered, including pads for rotary`s

I prefer wool wash mitts to microfiber mitts because the microfiber will trap anything easily. It may be nice since you don`t have the problem of linting perhaps but for me I feel `safer` using the old school mitt.

I would simply replace the wash mitt with a higher quality one

Curious, what brand was it?

They all shed, no matter what ya do. Personally, when you see the hide is getting not as plush, I would toss it or leave it for engine or wheel duty. Mf mitts are good for cars that are basically clean already, not heavy grime or cars that have n`t been washed in a few weeks!!!!!

Wow, I have chenille mitts shed like mad, makes the sheepskin ones seem tame, the lint catcher in the dryer is a nighmare afterwards :eek: The chenilles don`t get used on "good" cars.

I don`t have any problems with my wool mitt but I have major problems with my cotton chenille mitt. It leaves fragments all over my black rubber....YUCK! Actually, I noticed that it doesn`t do it on new cars that have nice slick moldings, but beware when a care has older moldings.

[JasonD]

LOL, Bill D. You and I were thinking the exact same thing at the exact same moment. I agree with you. My wool mitt is for my personal cars or a customer`s car that just needs a freshening up but when a car is real dirty I pull out the chenille and let her rip!

[Bill D]

yep, that`s the way to go :up

I got mine at exceldetail with all m MF towels except the CBT. It was a couple bucks cheaper than autopia thats why i got it. And this is only my first time using it

I`ve been very happy with Eurow sheepskin mitts from Wal Mart --$5

[NXT4now]

The Costco ones (Eurow?) shed also...

Well, I bought two wool wash (at the same time) mitts from a popular online vendor.



One of them was EXTREMELY soft, didnt shed, the wool laid very flat, and I liked it a lot.

The other one wasnt so soft, shed, and wasnt as nice over all.



So, it could just be a variation in the hides. :nixweiss

Hmm..I haven`t had shedding from my Eurow ones, in fact I still have the first one I ever bought, use it for dry wheel dusting. I`m, probably unusually, extremely lucky. I do spend quite a long time when I see them in the store picking them out.
