Ok, here's the situation:



I think my current wash mits are causing my swirl marks...



http://www.carcareonline.com/soft_wash_mitt_17601.html



Those are what I have now... they're soft and have a deep nap but not 100% cotton.



So, Then I was at walmart and found some Eurow Sheepskin mitts. they're SOFT.. I do a search here, some like some dont, some say they scratch paint easy... not sure what to think.





Then, I find a lot of people like 100% Cotton Chinelle Viking mitts, but someone mentions they aren't completely 100% cotton even though it may say so.



Anyway, I'm at a loss and want something nice and safe... I can't find the Viking washmits locally and I'd hate to just buy a few online and pay 5-10 dollars shipping....



Anyone have any words of wisdom on these Sheepskin mitts? .... etc etc etc.
 
Yeah, the Viking ones are not 100% cotton. I still use them and haven't gotten any swirlmarks. They are soft. I don't press hard. I also make sure that the thing is loaded with soapy water constantly. Keep in mind my car is very new and I've only washed 3 times so maybe constant use may be bad, but I kind of doubt it unless you are not careful. I was looking at a turtle wax 100% cotton chenille sponge and it seemed a hell of alot rougher than the viking wash mitt. I think something can be said for the "feel" of the item.



Not sure on the mitt you are using. You say it is soft--but maybe when pressed down the material that the strands are weaved into is doing the scratching?

Where do you get the microfiber wash mitt from? I've seen a couple online but not sure of the quality.

I have not tried the MF washmit yet but I am a beliver of 100% cotton chenelle wash mits. I ordered one from CMA a long time ago when they were having a cotton seed problem in thier mitts and I ended up using that one for the wheels/tires because it would swirl my paint.



Since then they say it has been fixed and you can find the mit on sale at : http://www.properautocare.com/chenwasmit.html



There is also the viking 100% cotton chenelle mits, those are what I am currently using. Some people can find them at a local target, kragen, napa but I havn't been able to locate them locally for me.

You can find a link to the search result for them



Here



AFAIK those ARE the 100% cotton ones. If anyone knows otherwise please correct me.

I have been using a chenille pad that I got at Pepboys or Autozone or something. Been using that for a year and no swirls on my black car.



I just got a Viking mitt at Autozone and haven't tried it yet.



I don't like the sheepskin because it feels rough to me. Go figure...
