What are we using for proper washing procedure

Quick Question,



I have been using Megs Wool Wash Mits for a couple of years now, but I notice that they leave few, but noticable swirl marks and micro marring. I'm pretty sure i am using the proper washing procedure. I read on the forum that the mits are too agressive for daily washing. I was just wondering what everyone is using and where they are buying them.

although i really need to improve my drying method, the microfibers i use leave micromarring i can see on my paint in low light conditions
 
If something is so coarse that it mars paint, I simply wouldn't touch my paint with it. There are plenty of things that *don't* mar paint that you can use instead.



Danspeed1- I use BHBs for the initial passes and then either sheepskin (from the Autopia store IIRC) and/or MF mitts. I CD-test before the initial use (and then from time to time) to make sure they're safe to use. That takes the wash media issue out of the equation...any marring will be coming from dirt and/or wash technique.



[Insert usual foamgun lecture here ;) ]



If you're concerned about your current mitt causing marring, I'd CD-test it (wet with shampoo mix). I always assume that most wash-induced marring comes from the technique/dirt instead of the wash medium, but you never know and some mitts *will* mar.



NCZ13- I'd CD test your drying media...if it's simply too coarse to dry without marring I'd switch to something else. But again, the marring might be coming from dirt/etc. (still) on the paint instead of from the drying towel.
