Chenille Wash Mitts

I just picked up some Chenille wash mitts from Ocean State Job Lot (similar to big lots). Do you think these would be safe to use on the lower/rocker panels of the car and inside the wheel wells?

My thinking is yes. I have myself two mitts, one for the top only, one for the lower panels!

I like chenille mitts. They hold and release dirt well. Just use the 2 bucket method and have one mitt for the upper and lower panels and you should be fine.

when you say upper, do you mean the hood, truck, etc. or just the upper body panels on the doors?

If you have molding on your doors, below this is the lower. As well as the wheels. Mostly where the majority of the dirt slings up from the tires. You may have to be the judge here.

So you use them on the whole car. I just wanted to make sure that they were safe to use (esp. coming from biglots or somewhere). I'll wash them first just to be safe. Thanks...

Justin: what do you use for washing the car itself? I'm still using the 99c sponges from Wal*Mart (I know, I know!!!) and need some help...

I used the same sponges for 6 months. Well not the same exact sponge! I like sponges because they rinse clean easy and clean good. Now I use the EDGE ShMitt. I reviewed it last week.....
