We have a running theory here that microfiber captures dirt and grime very well, but it doesn't realease it so well. The concern is that dirt picked up by a wash mitt won't release too well, when the mitt is rinsed. If this is true, you may notice your paint will pick up swirl marks rather easily.

I'll stress the word "theory". None of us are really brave enough to test this theory. Wanna be the first?

Some people do use the microfiber mitts for dashboard dusting, and things of that nature....

How many people are going to buy these mitts before we convince them to not?

RKA

Honestly, I don't really care. :-)

Wash mitt bad, too much 1 Grand ERV, everything else looks OK.

So what do you use instead? Those sheepskin mits seem to collect a lot of debris as well.

The synthetic stuff is crap, and does swirl the paint, and it doesn't release dirt very easily. I've found that natural sheepskin ($7 from Target) mitts are quit nice. They seem to be gentle on the paint, furthermore, they release dirt very easily when I rinse them in the wash bucket.

Phew.. glad I just got a Target mitt.

the wool fibers from the sheeps winter coat are coarse enough to sand your clearcoat down, so those mitts are definitely to be avoided, as are any mitts made from sheep in the great white north (always cold there, hence the coarse wool issue is more prevalent).

The best way to test which mitt you have is to pull you pants down, and rub the mitt on your bottom (rather sensitive tissue down there). If after 10 strokes, it starts to itch, you've got the coarse wool (put it back on the shelf!). If after 10 strokes it still feels wooly soft, you've got yourself a keeper!

And for anybody that's reading this and still thinks I am remotely serious, I'm NOT bailing you out of jail when you try this!

Now I feel like I F'd myself by buying that MF wash mit! I was sold by the description on the site.
