What type of wash mitt do you use???

[matthiasj]

I use a separate bucket, mit and seperate wash product for wheels/tires/wheel wells/gas tank cover, and under my side skirts. When finished i put those tools away, and make a bucket for paint, and get out a fresh mit. I also use 2 bucket method too. I use Meguiars Rich Suds for the nasty stuff, and Meguiars Deep Crystal Car Wash for the paint .

I use megs wash mitt, I tried VROOMS chinille spong and that thing just left lots of lint and some of the dread locks fell out after just one use.

Just wondering what type of wash mitt / sponge everyone uses??? Should I get the sheepskin, cotton, or microfiber wash mitt?

Don't like MF mitts (any synthetic mitts) or any kind of sponges for washing. I've long been a fan of 100% made in USA cotton mitts. However, they are getting harder and harder to find. Slowly, I'm switching over the high quality lambswool/sheepskin mitts.

I need to get new mitt, the sheeps one I had is old, and the new turtle wax one I picked up SUCKS!

I use the sheepskin from advance auto and I have a couple from adam polishes to. They are nice and hold a TON of water but I they dont seem to rinse as well as the mitts. I also prefer the ones without the thumb part, thus why I get mine from advance. Its the only place I can find them.

i might be getting a new one soon, i like my MF sponge mit, but maybe sheepskin would be the way to go.

I use a sheepskin for the paint and a chanille for the wheels w/ a 3 bucket system.
1 bucket for the wheels, 1 for the paint, and a rinse bucket that I will empty and refill after I am done with the wheels and get ready to move onto the paint.

That's exactly one of the problems with synthetic mitts... they hold on to the dirt and don't rinse out well. Also, with a synthetic pad, you can't rinse it out from the "inside-out". With a wash mitt... you can.

That's a good point. I usually empty my rinse bucket and refill it during the wash process a couple of times. If I feel that the rinse water is too dirty, it's not doing my mitt any good putting it in there. I usually wind up emptying and refilling it 2-3 times. another alternative - at least for me - would be to go ahead and fill up three rinse buckets and place them around the vehicle to start off with.
