Title: Which wash mitt?
Post by: Sug on December 14, 2011, 07:34:31 pm: Been looking on eBay and other sites for a wash mitt and there's that many
Can someone recommend a good one? Or if there something better feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Me too. First one I bought started to fall apart after one wash, but was replaced for free. The replacement seems to be fine after several uses. They didn't want the faulty one back so I use it for the "dirty" bits.

But saying that if I can get over my dislike of Dodo products I may try a short hair wookie fist after christmas.

Post by: mkviken on December 16, 2011, 09:46:32 pm: I've got both the meguairs wool mit and he normal micro fibre type. i use the wool one on the bodywork and the other one on the lower parts of the car. also have a cheap one for doing inside the wheel arches

Post by: Greeners on December 19, 2011, 12:04:36 am: Tried plenty, but by far and away the best I have used so far is the £7.99 Halfords Lambswool mitt. It's grey with a black wrist band. I bought two around 4 months ago as most mitts I have owned have only lasted a couple of months before either falling apart of discolouring. This one is still going strong so haven't touched one of them! :happy2:

Post by: RussZS on December 19, 2011, 12:37:48 am: I agree with Greeners. I do like the CQuartz one too though, but they are £17 each!

Post by: Trekmeister on January 07, 2012, 07:49:25 pm: I bought a wool one from ebay its lasted ages and still looks almost new, was pretty cheap also.

Post by: smokey on January 10, 2012, 11:10:15 am: I also use teh Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt. Great mitt and easy to look after as it was my first mitt.

Have seen the Dodo Juice - ones and they do look good. Will stick with this one for now.

How long do your mitts last for btw?

Post by: Greeners on January 10, 2012, 11:41:44 am: The Halfords one has so far outlasted any other Mitt I have used by at least 3x!
Title: Re: Which wash mitt?
Post by: mkviken on January 10, 2012, 03:30:13 pm: when mine get old and tatty i relegate them to wheel arch and under body duties and use a new one for the paintwork

I have used this since I got my GTI a year ago. Bought 2 of them and both are still going strong :happy2:
