Anyone try Costco 2-sided mits?

I'm sure lots of you do not shop at Costco for car care items. The last time I was there, I saw these new mits. They looked somewhat interesting, so I bought a set of 4 for about $10. One side is white for "body". The other side grey for "wheels". Along the edge, there's mesh for scraping bugs & gunk. I have not tried them yet. I was just curious if anyone has? I figured I'd use white for upper body panels, and grey for lower body. I typically use something else for wheels & tires.

Looks good. If you only use the "body" side then it should work out fine...



On the same topic, has anyone used the Costco MF Chenille wash mitts. They come in some florescent colors with the dread looking MF.
 
I've always wanted to try those as well. They come with a large towel. I saw these, and they seemed to be better for "multi-tasking".

Yea but careful not to multitask and contaminate either.
 
Haven’t tired the two-sided mitts but Costco's six pack of blue mf mitts is an awesome deal. They’re Eurow brand plush, thumbless, mf mitts and you get six of them for about $7.





PC.
 
I got those both, the chenelle MF wash mitt with the dread locks and used them both. When it said wheel on one side and body on the other, its not a good idea to use one mitt do to wheels and body. When I used it I just used it just for the body and do my usual wheel wash. It went okay for the first 2-3 times you dip it into the bucket, and it does keep your hand dry, but when you wring it out water gets into the mitt and your hands get wet.

The dread locks mitts do clean really nice but its really hard to get stains and bugs out of that mitt since it tends to lock in the dirt and grime at the bottom of the mitt since there are so many deep holes for it. So what I did since it came with like 3 of them I ended up using all 3 at once. Or dont tend to wipe it so hard to avoid it from contacting the bottom of the mitt. Good thing it was costco, and I ended up returning the dread lock mitt since it was a pain to clean. The non dread I keeping since it wring out alot better and easier to clean. That was my experience with them. But the big blue towel that came with the dread mitt is nice for drying.

Thanks for the input. Thats exactly what I would expect from it from looking at it.
 
I have not used this new 2 sided mitt, but I have used both the blue Eurow mf 6 pack and the dread lock mf chenille in fluorescent colors.



Blue Eurow mf 6 pack - For the price, I like these a lot. My other mf mitt that I use is the Meguiar's mf mitt, and both have their pros and cons. These blue ones have been used many times yet are as soft as the first time I used it. I can't say the same for the Meg's mitt. The blue Eurows are very light though, unlike my Meg's, so often times I find myself having to use a lot of pressure and scrub just to get something clean. With the Meg's mitt, I don't have to use as much pressure to clean.



Fluorescent mf Chenille from Costco - Big waste of money. I returned them and bought the blue Eurow 6 pack instead. The only thing may be worth keeping is the big blue towel. It's not the softest drying towel, but it is nice and big.



The main problem with the mitt is that they are lined on the inside with this mesh cotton. After your 1st wash in the washing machine, at least one of your mitts will have this cotton mesh lining rip apart, and it causes a mess inside the mitt. I don't put my hands in my mitts anyway, but it bothered me a lot that these mitts fell apart so quickly.



Another thing I also did not care for is how heavy they get. They soak up a lot of solution (too much IMO) and not only do you end up using more solution than you need to, but the mitts become pretty heavy to move around on the paint.
