Your wash sponge/mitt/pad

I've been using Adam's wash pad for about 8 months now and really like it. It holds tons of solution.
 
I continue to use a natural sea sponge. They are soft, holds a lot of solution, but most importantly, I have yet to find a material that can release dirt and grit as effectively. And you can't put your hand in it

Sponges make me nervous! Todd, how easy is the LC Ultimate Wash Sponge to clean? I like the look of the hand grip - my GG wash mitts are getting old.

Super easy, slosh it and massage it in a bucket of clean water, and you are done :)
 
I've been using two. First, my #1 go-to wash mitt:

CarPro Wool Wash Mitt

Now, because of the upkeep of the wool mitt, though I like the feel more than microfiber wash mitts, I bought the Microfiber Madness Incredimitt.

I feel they are the best wash mitts of their respective categories on the market today. :rockon

Man I am somewhat of a wash mitt aficionado...

My favorites include-

The Aussie Merino Wash Mitt- the softest, plushes wash mitt available- my go to for delicate paints

The Lake Country Ultimate Wash Sponge- my regular choice. The gold foam is softer and holds more solution than a grout sponge, and the slotted tabs improve coverage and add safety.

Micro Chenille Wash Mitt- I use this interchangeably with Ultimate Wash Sponge, depending on what's closer.

Supreme530 Microfiber Towel- I use this towel a lot, for rinseless or traditional washes. I really like using a towel to wash the paint post-polishing.

I was just eyeing up the lake country wash mitt in the store. I may give it a go. I still prefer a clean ultrasoft sheepskin wash mitt. Right now I am using a microfiber mitt. Does the job but still feel like it was a better and gentler wash with the merino wool.
 
For the bottom rocker panels, I use four thick soft MFT's that are soaking in the wash bucket and toss 'em in the laundry bucket after one wipe per clean side.

For the rest of the car, I use the $6 Megs fake wool mits. After 3 or 4 washes, I degrade them to wheels only and put new ones in rotation.

I wouldn't mind doing the whole car with the MFT's but that's just too much laundry and extra water use.
 
Am I one of the few dinosaurs left that prefer a soft brush like OXO or Meguiar's? I appreciate the two-bucket technique, but I think the brushes are perhaps a bit faster (and I use only one bucket), and I like the idea of sweeping away the dirt than wiping it off.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Though I am an old dog, I can OCCASIONALLY learn new tricks....
 
Aussie Merino Wool Wookie Mitt for the paint above the water line...microfiber pad for the rocker panels. I don't put my hand inside the mitt but drag it across the paint holding on to the collar to keep the collar off the paint.

Took me a bit to get used to it as the mitt holds about a quart of product when taking it out of the soap bucket. :)

I switch back and forth between the Griot's Garage Micro Fiber Wash Mitt and the Lake Country Blue Grout Sponge.

I'm tempted to try the Lake Country Wash Wedge and the MicroFiber Madness Incredisponge.
 
My favorite wash media to date would be the Microfiber Madness Incredimitt. I just ordered the Incredisponge and Increditpad. I am thinking the Incredipad will be my new go to wash media.

I've been using MF wash mitts from Meg for a awhile. I have several that I cycle. When one gets too dirty for the paint i'll move it to being the wheel one. I ordered from of the GG Wash Mitts just this morning. Glad to see so many people like them. I also don't put my hand inside, usually grab the outside and go to town. Makes it easier for flipping before rinsing.

Have you used your Adam's on a really dirty car. My daughter came over with her car which was a mess and I used the Adam's pad on it. I noticed that when rubbing over the Grit Guard that the pad didn't come very clean.
 
I switched to the wash wedge for painted surfaces and it is fantastic. I was very afraid that the hard, black foam would separate from the gold foam but it hasn't what so ever (approximately 30 washes with it so far)
