Which Wash mitt for me?

I have been browsing the Autopia store for the last few days, looking for some wash, mitts, and towels. My only confusion is which wash mitt to buy. I am torn between MF, sheep, or just cotton. Any suggestions on this matter?



Thanks,

Brett
 
I'd go with chenille or sheepskin. The long, plush fibers on these mitts pick up dirt and whisk it away from your paint. MF mitts, while soft, aren't as plush, and hence keep the particles of dirt closer to your paint.
 
I still say sheepskin right now. I don't like chenille myself, and I have a nice, fur-like MF mitt to test out next wash, so I'll get back to you on that one! :D



:lol Lynn!
 
I use MF and sheepskin. I like sheepskin the best, but it is a serious pain to dry (you have to let it dry overnight, then flip it inside out, and dry it again!). So I use sheepskin only when the car is real dirty, otherwise the MF is much more practical.
 
I have recently starting using Sheepskin. I got rather tired of cotton, they seem to stay dirty and the only way to get them really clean is put them in the washing machine. Then the washer kills them. Plus, they are impossible to find and then you have to worry about does Cotton mean Cotton. :rolleyes:



So far, no swirls with real Sheepskin!

If you want to dry it out faster, use clothespins and hang it up in such a way that the insides are separated (not touching) from each other. The leather stays wet for a really long time if it doesn't get any air on both sides. I usually hang mine from the cuff. HTH
 
Sheepskin user here...I actually don't let it dry when I'm done with it...I just clean it and put it in a fresh bucket of water till my next usage...
 
I have been very happy with sheepskin for years, never had any marring/swirl issues on my black car, but I haven't yet tried a MF mit.
 
Chenille, buy two and use the Jason two bucket wash method. One bucket was water, one bucket soap water. And rotate usind mitts or use one mitt for heavy area's and one for light.
 
I used to use a cotton mitt, and then a MF mitt.



Then I tried a sheepskin mitt...



Guess what I am using now... :cool:



The sheepskin just glided on the paint so smoothly. Cant ever imagine a scratch or swirl appearing :)
 
I used a sea sponge and cotton mitt for years. Last week I decided to pick up a couple of the sheepskin mitts that are on sale at the Autopia Store. I'm now hooked also, these things are great.
 
not sure ive never used a sheepskin one before? currently use a MF ond and chenille mit, well its a sponge wrapped in chenille cotton, i find i works better than the mf mit, holds more soap n water:up and prob picks up the dirt better as well
