Micro Fiber Wash Mitts?

**CharlesW** · 07-17-2008, 01:00 PM

Can some of you that have used MF wash mitts share your thoughts?
I have the Meguiar`s MF Mitt which is about like a plush MF towel and another MF mitt that is about like a cotton chenille mitt, but made from MF.
I have also seen the "dreadlock" style MF mitts for sale, but don`t own one.

I have not used mine, partly because I had concerns about getting dirt particles out of the MF. It can sometimes be a challenge to remove those particles from a MF towel and it seems like the MF mitt would be even more of a challenge.

Any of you using a MF mitt?

I use a chenille style microfiber wash mitt. I like it a lot as it holds a lot of water. It doesn`t seem to trap and not release dirt and scratch the paint.

I am using them on a regular basis now. I never thought I`d replace the sheepskin mitt, but I find myself using the MF mitts most often now. I can see no marring from using them, and I think they release dirt and particles fairly easy.

Thanks guys!

It`s only two responses, but you both agree on the mitts not trapping or failing to release dirt particles when used. That was my main concern.

I use them too ... I like the mf dreadlock style and find it releases dirt easily ...

I like the wool mitt with regular soaps and the dreadlock for ONR. I have a plain MF mitt that I dedicated to wheels.

I use only the microfiber (guess dread lock pattern one) I love it an have not experienced any problem with the dirt sticking or marring the finish on my truck. Nor have I experienced any "drag" that I have heard talked about here

It looks like this but in blue

I use the dreadlock style when washing, I also have a green Viking MF wash mit I just started using when using a quick detailer.

Mine are the lime green like the picture. I think the same company makes most on the market. Since I use ONR, I have two just in case since they look very dirty after washing some cars I may want to use a second clean one. That is, ONR does not rinse in a rinse bucket like a normal wash so it builds up in the mitt. If you rinse in Dawn, they get clean again.

Another fan of the dreadlock style MF mitt. I`ll admit I was skeptical about using them at first, but after using them for a few months, I don`t even look for my sheepskins ones any longer.

Fair enough, but what other mitts (especially sheepskin) have you used? I`m just curious how the Griot`s compares to the Eurow or other sheepskin mitts.

Personally I prefer sheepskin, but I`ll admit I haven`t tried one of the dreadlock style MF mitts.

Sheepskin mitts probably deserve their own thread and it might be worth some discussion.
The purpose of my thread was to discuss MF mitts.
I already have sheepskin mitts and I`m not looking for information on them.
The intent is appreciated, but it is getting a little off-topic.
