I had a chance to try out my new Schmitt last night. In the summer I use traditional soap-and water bucket washes rather than ONR. I really liked it. I had no noticeable marring on my super-soft BMW black paint. The car came very clean. The coarser backside worked VERY well for scrubbing bug guts off of the windows and my clear-bra'd front end with very little pressure needed. I found the tapered edge to fit perfectly between panels.
Unlike you manly men with the big hands, my little hands fit perfectly inside the Schmitt. That's a nice change for me, as I normally find sheepskin mitts annoying in that the holes are large enough that the mitts will fall off as I'm washing. I have to be very careful with sheepskins because of it. The Schmitt just conformed itself to my hand.
I felt it carried water much better than a sheepskin mit, giving me more water to work with when I'm washing. Dirt rinses out of it extremely easily between panels. Grit doesn't seem to stick to the foam.
