ONR Users: What kind of mitt do you use?

[Evenflow]

Sheepskin!

3 mf chennile mitts.

how are these dreadlock style MF mitts? They good for ONR and regular washes? I always see these around OTC. They do not cause marring even on a black car?

Before: Sheepskin and MF Sponge

Now: Lowes GS

 

[dreamcatchr23]

very interesting thread... so far i've used MF, but i'll be looking forward to trying the GS and sheepskin...

Grout sponge here... I used to use a sheepskin mitt, but the GS sheds dirt MUCH better

 

[bwlucas]

I tried a grout sponge, but I didn't like it. I felt uneasy using it. I like using a sheepskin with ONR.

Where exactly do you get you mf covered sponge?

autogeek..

 

[Scottwax]

i use a mf covered sponge (dog bone shaped).

Same here. $2 at Big Lots. Very soft and they hold up well. I have a couple that are nearly a year old now and they show no signs of splitting at the seams like every single chenille covered foam pad I've ever had has done...and often, within a matter of weeks.

Was using the Lowe's GS but changed to MF covered sponge. GS just did not hold enough water for my taste. Too much dipping back and forth.

After trying a number of diffent methods I settled on using these mitts Mitts the pile is deep enough to pull the dirt away from the finish, but they release well in the ONR bucket. Use 2 or 3 per wash. In the winter I presoak the car with the standard ONR wash mix and a pump sprayer and use 2 buckets, but I put ONR in the rinse bucket as well. Dirt seems to release from mitt better.

I've been using the Neatitems mitts for the last year or so and love them.

Quick sideline, with no intention to hijack: could one of you great folks on this thread, who seem to be very experienced in ONR, help guide me to a good "how to use ONR" thread. Last winter was the first winter with my new BMW and I washed it outside as much as possible, but mostly froze my butt off. ONR sounds great in that I can do it in a heated garage, but I want to make sure I use the right equipment and procedure (the mgf recommendations don't always match the real world way of doing things, right?)



Again, I don't want to hijack this thread, so to avoid that, please PM me.



Thanks.

Bump for some new suggestions...



Thinking about purchasing "the bone" mf pad by Cobra.

 

[Rez90]

is ONR really that much better than the other spray and wipe products?

 

[imported_wagonproject]

Its not really a spray and wipe product, though you could use it like that for bird bombs, etc. Its a rinseless wash.
