Looking at Griot's micro fiber wash pad's or sheepskin mitt. What would be the best choice for the new red paint on my 350z? Already got 2 five gallon buckets and grit guards and now just wanting to keep from messing my new paint up with wash swirls.



The first to items listed.

Sheepskin has a big following. I personally like the MF/Chenille mitts. For the price, I always use 2. They do a good job and are durable as far as handling the rigors of the wash machine etc...



Check out the Scmitt too. those are a favorite.
 
when my Walmart had the Eurow's I could usually find a good one

but the Walmarts around here stop carring them



you can get them from excell detail

and he sell them by how plush they are!
 
I saw the MF Chenille Mitt in the Griot's catalog. I use the glove style with ONR but I just use it like a mitt - not on the hand.



I watch the collar to make sure it is not dragging the paint. I was going to sew it inside. The other mitt style seems every better and not a bad price compared to the glove style OTC (like 2 for $10).
 
If I were ordering a wash medium from Griot's I'd get their BHB ;)



The Griot's sheepksin mitt is a little different from my other ones...more "fuzzy" and less like "hair". It's nice and gentle but can trap dirt and be a pain to clean.



I use the Griot's BHB for the initial passes and then follow up with a sheepskin or MF (regular plush MF, not the "muppet" style ones), both with a foamgun.

I also prefer sheepskin and the Eurow's seemed fine when you picked through and found a nice one.



Our Wal-Marts quit selling them for a while too, but a couple of weeks ago I saw them again.
 
the best sheepskin mitts i've used for many years with no problems are the SM Arnold, which have been pretty consistent in quality and are thumbless which I like.
 
I really like the Griot's sheepskin mitt. I bought one about 3-4 years ago, and it held up well until about six months ago at which time it disintegrated during the course of a couple of washes. Overall it held up quite well. Since then I have tried a couple of other mitts and sponges, but I miss my Griot's sheepskin so I think I'll buy another one soon.
 
I pick and choose through sheepskins @ Advanced Auto for about (last time I checked) eight bucks.



One other thing...I run mine through the washer w/ no probs.
 
I got one of the sheepskin mitts from Walmart and use it for my ONR washes (DP 4 in 1) and have no issues with it.



I have a MF mitt I got from auto nerd but have not used it yet.
