Good quality wash mits?!

[KyL3]

Any reccomend a good quality wash mit? All the ones i seem to buy fall apart after a few months even though i fully wash them out and leave then to dry! Cheers

I think leaving them damp seems to make them last longer. Pop them in a zip lock style bag never had any issues at all.

The CapPro mitt is widely regarded as the best. I think a few guys are making copies now. I4detailing has them from memory also.

The carpro / flexipads / gyeon / gtechniq merino wool mits are by far the best I've used but as you know need care.

As an hardy alternative look into the microfibre madness incredi mitt / pad and sponge

I've got the Supernatural Merino 'Yetis Fist' and by s**t it's awesome

I had one from cleanyourcar, about £15 iirc. Absolutely w**k, pieces of wool fall out all over the car and now I only have about half the glove left, used for no more than 10 washes.

Don't they stink if you leave them damp?

My megs one is alright not tried anything else though.

All sheepskin mitts can smell a bit when left wet. If it does, soak it in dilute white spirit vinegar for 10 mins and then rinse.

 

[bozothenutter]

won't the vinegar(being acidic) damage them?

 

[aucky]

A brief exposure to dilute vinegar won't. And it will kill the bacteria/mold causing the smell.

what is damaging is if the mitt is allowed to go moldy, it will then start shedding!
