    we all for the most part use Mf`s to QD...ok except for darb and he is a genius so i cant fight that....but being the resident knucklehead let me ask this.....i bought 2 MF mitts from CMA....but i also bought 2 huge chenille mitts...fell in love with the chenille mitts...so...what the heck am i gonna do with the MF mitts..???



    well....why cant i use then to QD my car....im sitting here trying to say....well...you cant brian...because...they arent the same quality as Steve`s MF`s...or...thy dont have the endurance of a true MF towel...or...they are made to be used with lots of product...i mean soaked in water and all....orthe mitt wont give you the proper precise control you need to do a proper QD.....all these said.....even if all true....i think im gonna try it out....i would still stik to my 2 towel/mitt Qding...1 damp one to apply and then the other to buff out......pls tell me...why wont you people have an open mind and let me do what i want!!!!!!!!! :p

    But in my opinion, the mitt will saturate quickly with QD-er, and then it will be tough to do without streaking/applying excess product. QDing should be done with large towels turning frequently.

    Floni I think that the limiting factor is how many square inches of fabric there are in the MF mits. I think it`d probably be ok dokey for one panel or an errant bird bomb. However I think you need more square inches of MF cloth to do the whole car. If you`re rubbin` anything on the paint you don`t want it to be saturated with dust, now do you?



    Notice I`m using my mad face, bad Floni stop spreading dangerous ideas dude! :p

[/b]</blockquote>This would be the case if trying to use the mitt to both apply and buff out, but a separate, dry MF towel for the final buff should eliminate that problem.

    Give it a shot, FLONI, but you might want to limit using the mitt to QDing after a wash. When I QD a dusty car (I use neatitems MF towels, btw), I can only do one or two panels before that section of the towel becomes soiled, and I flip to a clean section for the initial wipe . . . I can do this several times with a towel, and just grab another towel when I run out of clean bits. You won`t be able to do this with your MF mitt (only the two sides), which makes me think it should be a "clean-car QD" experiment.

    Just a thought,
    Tort

    Do what I do. I use my MF mitts for my wheels and tires. The MF mitts, once they get dirty, are impossible to get completely white. So I just use them for very dirty jobs. Their durability makes them perfect tools for my wheels and tires.

    Another option, before Intermezzo makes you get your nice MF mitts all gunked up is to try them for windows. You know the part of your window you can`t fit your hand into? Yeah, that one! I hate that spot too.



    Use the MF mitt with some glass cleaner or water on it to reach your fingertips into the cracks at the base of your front and rear windows.

    and they sent me MF mitts instead so I called and they told me to keep the MF`s and they would send me the correct one`s.I now had the MF`s to wash with but did not like the way they slid off my hand or the way they felt on the paint.I did`nt want my wife to feel left out so I gave her one and she uses it for cleaning in the house.The one that I had left I keep in my car door for quick dusting inside and finger print removal aroud my door handles outside.I had thought about your idea but did not try it so let me know how it turns out.

    Hey PrinzII,



    Some time ago I was wondering if people had tried out the solutions manufactured by TOL or whether they found another solution that worked well. I`m not asking anything in this post, though.
