Wash mitts

I have and continue to although the availability and quality of the mitts is very variable. You really do need to inspect each one to see if they are soft enough. Sometimes none of them are. For the fun of it, since I haven't seen any decent ones in about a year, I saw some the other day and out of 10 on the shelf, only 2 were acceptably plush. I bought those even though I have a very ample supply already.

I also recently took advantage of an online gift certificate from autoanything.com. The mitt was $15 so I used the certificate to get that. When it arrived, I saw it was no more or less plush than my $5 ones. In fact, the only difference was the color of the cuff:brown rather than green or black like mine have.

From reports read here, it sounds like sheepskin goods websites sell ultra heavy/plush mitts. You should look for something that weighs more than the 4 oz. average of the Eurow Wal-Mart ones if you're interested in those.

I have the firemans nozzle and it fell apart on me on the second use. I put it back together (cheaply made...not surprised for $5) and haven't used it since. The pressure wasn't as good either as my other nozzle.

a big thank you for the info.
 
well today i went thesheepskin store buy the house that sells sheepskin products and they also carried the wash mitts for $15.00. this mitt was soft and thick i coudn't resist it. then from there off to walmart to look at the euro mitts they were not even close to the 1st mitt i purchased but i did go through 6 0r 7 until i found two of the softer ones and bought them i'll use them for the lower 1/2 of the car. the owner at the sheepskin store told me to rinse the mitt after each use and let it hang out of the sun and in the shade to dry no need to reverse the mitt,they also sell shampoo to clean the sheepskin bought i didn't but any.

chee to top that off i ordered two more from exceldetails and i told them i heard about them through dc. i even found a company that custom makes the wash mitts it takes upto 12 days. no doubt i can't wait to use'em i wish i had bought'em a long time ago. i undestand your avatar more then ever now . :D
 
You ordered from exceldetail..I hope you remember to use the 12.5% discount code :yes: :w00t:
 
chee Thank You for the link, i e-mailed exceldetail and there gonna apply the discount, but what bothers me before i bought the 2 mitts he never mentioned the promo code and i think that is a bad business move on his part we had at least 3 -mails to each other before i bought the mitts. i also told him in the e-mail that i heard of them from DC. maybe he forgot i dunno :shifty: :horse: . a big thank you to you on the info and the heads up on the mitts :cheers: .


P.S. exceldetail sent me an e-mail and it's 12:30am good customer service and they applied the discount. what more can you ask for there polite & profesional.

I'm still waiting to know if one of the sponsors from here has received my pm from 2 days ago. :wink:

exceldetail.com has some awesome sheepskin mitts (they have the thumbs tho). I picked up the Med. one 3.1-4.7 oz mitts and they are very very plush. And his prices are hard to beat

Edit: Forgot to mention his mitts are made by Euro as well, but you don't have to pick them like fruit you WILL get a plush mitt.

my mitts arrived yesterday from excell and they were euro mitts. these mitts are 1 1/2 x thicker then walmarts and are plush, but if your willing to go through the mitts at walmart you can get a decent mitt for $5.00 and no need to pay for shipping. now the mitt i bought from the sheepskin dealer for $15.00 is the thickest and softest mitt i have seen, i was looking for the baby sheep to stick his head from the mitt that is how plush and soft this mitt is.

on behalf of exceldetail there CS was great, patrick tossed in a real nice MF and a candy cane for the holidays along with his bussiness card. his response to my e-mails were fast as lightning and he honored the discount i didn't receive when i made the purchase .Thanks Chee for the discount info. :yourrock
 
Hehe I wouldn't know..I'm in the umm other side of the world :redface: ..but it does work, it makes my sheepskin mitt I bought from PAC a year ago softer :bigups

I'm not happy with my fireman's nozzle - same $5 one from Stuff-Mart. Won't completly shut off (emits a continuous fine mist). I threw out the packaging, thought about buying another one and taking the broken one back, but for $5, I'm almost tempted to cut my losses and move on.
