I have the Eurow mitt, muppet head mitt, Schmitts, blah blah and this is just a great friggin piece of washing media. price is the best of all too.

do not know if home depot has a special sponge but it maybe worth looking into menards and lowes if they are closer to you.

What exactly makes it so good?

Oh well..... I`ll be banned by the time the sun comes up. You guys are finally seeing what I`ve been preaching for about 2 years now. *I* saved a ton of money on wash mitts.

Oh god, i keep seeing these gs threads and i`m actually considering it....

See if I can answer some of the questions off the top of my head.

They last a long time. 50+ washes easy

You can clean them with dish washing liquid, warm water and a little massaging.

Usually priced at $1.97

The bundled ones are just a bit stiffer than the "loose" ones.

They work fine for traditional wash and ONR style washes.

They release dirt/grit like you wouldn`t believe without marring the surface.

They`re very gentle.

Spoiled man, do you use the one bucket method for ONR?

**booyah** · 10-14-2007, 11:18 PM

Do this sponges, really do not marring the finish or give it swirl marks. Cause I have two dark color cars which have been detail lately and I don`t want something to mess up the finish. So do this really work or are you going off price ??? Is there anyway you can show me picture or before and after ???? Just wondering ???

Exactly what, besides price and ease of use on multiple cars, is the benefit to using one of these? I don`t do many cars so thats not an issue. But my sheepskin mitts cant take the washing machine spinning and fall apart all the time so I am curious.

**SpoiledMan** · 10-14-2007, 11:57 PM

Well, they do what that mitt does better, longer and cheaper. You`re free to keep using the mitts though.

You can take a look at this post for what is probably the dirtiest van that I see and how well the process works. This van was purchased in January IIRC and still is in no need of polishing.
