Good...

IMO That looks too big and bulky to use

My thoughts on the Wookie were the same...

 

[richy22]

Does that mean it actually isnt??

The wookie is a beast! You could empty a 5ltr in minutes!

The aquartz one I really didn't like the look of to be honest, a lot of people weren't that impressed with the face falling apart. Has to be combed before and after use, resulting in a loss of hair from the face.

Not the best mitt out there. I'm on the look out for a new mitt aswell.

I still find the microfibre types are better..The synthetic one I got from I4 used to bring the Monahoe out in swirls very quickly (wwithin a few washes).

Swithced to a MF one and hardly any after 6 months or so (with the same products/technique used)

I use a sheepskin wash mitt. Tested on a corrected panel it actually does what it says on the tin, takes the dirt particles away from the surfac and into the mitt.

Then obviously use the 2BM occordingly works for me.

Not sure whether to stick to them or try something different.

MF ones were awful when I tried them. Did not like.

Same, but I'm replacing my whole wash stage tbh.

New mitt, new buckets as the old ones are ... old. New grit guards, some more BTBM, some Megs HyperWash for snow foam. Think that's it.

Do not like.

But personal experience rules all, you know that.

Lambswool for me on bodywork. Sheepswool is okay for the rest (imo)

Wow is that a noodle mitt!

Do not like the look of or do not like to use??

Gally yep a noodle mitt.

£10 lambswool jobbie from CYC has always worked fine for me. No intention to change yet. Seem to last the best part of a year when looked after too.

Tried one once. You know what it's like. Walking through Halfrauds looking for anything actually half decent, needed some more Autosol and bought one as 342. Regretted it as soon as it touched the bonnet of the Clio. Not major marring, but not exactly brilliant. Luckily it was just before I had intended to machine it for the sale to Alex on here. So "problem" rectified.

They do last well, but you can get them cheaper buddy (a quid is a quid!) off Monza Car Care on eBay.

The ones in Halfords are w**k..These type seem a bit better. I Feel an experiment coming on!!

 

[JD]

You can, I'm experimenting with Snow Foams this month

 

[richy22]

Il pc my bonnet and then wash weekly half with MF one and half with lambswool or whatever. I'm up for that be interesting to see the result.

Although Capturing it on camera is a hit on silver! It "looks ok" then you catch the sun at the right angle...oh hello swirls! This car hasn't had any pc treatment yet.

Hated mine when i had it, recepie for swirls.

Good for people who dont care about swirls mind. Clean Well. But then for a well protected car all you need is wool.

 

[richy22]

As said I found it the other way round with the synthetic one I got from I4detailing...could see the swirls appearing under my floodlight at night.

Where-as when I switched to the above one they were a lot less noticeable.

Both using 2BM and either Supernatural or BTBM (I switch between the 2 for some reason!)

[daddycool]

need to get myself a new wash mitt as the yorkshire terrier look-a-like i have has had its day.
i found this review on autoexpress. i don't know how reliable their reviews are though. 8 wash mitts from 2006:

Lol.

That review covers how easily the mitts remove dirt. Not how well they work in relation to causing marring.
