Re: Review: CarPro Wool Wash Mitt
Corey, another fantastic professional level review. I like how slow and gentle you wash sky, seems like she likes the light touch
Could you go into a bit more detail about not having to wash out the mitt and how well it releases dirt into the rinse bucket?
I thing this product is going to make it's way into my cart if I can find a free shipping window to buy a few products this week. I really like how thick the pile is on that wool, it looks very soft and gentle.
Also the care instructions are just another way your reviews are a cut above, great information to have.

Thanks a lot Bill! And thanks for helping me clarify.
Well, an mf chennille mitt is excellent at grabbing dirt (as you know). But in the same way it grabs the dirt it also wants to hold onto it a bit. I am not really comfortable just washing an mf mitt in a rinse bucket, so I always spray it out with a hose and actually stopped using a second bucket when I only use a mf mitt.
In contrast this CarPro mitt releases the dirt much easier from its fibers and doesn't seem to be built for spraying with the hose to rinse it out (during the wash anyway) Instead I place it in the rinse bucket and move it straight up and down and the dirt seems to come free from the fibers easily without being forced further into the plush pile. Of course keeping in mind I am only using the CP mitt on a well cared for vehicle.
In short I believe the mf mitt is better at grabbing bonded dirt but worse at releasing it.
After I am done with the mitt and before I swing the water from it I do spray it out with the hose.
-Edit-
Also of note to all:
Al (Bunky) brought up a great point but unfortunately I can't edit my reviews on AG.
-Consider this an amendment-
Cons:
2.-Only one washing surface (You can't flip the mitt)

Re: Review: CarPro Wool Wash Mitt
Nice review. I only use wool mitts right now. I use to us MF mits but found that it held dirt and was hard to rinse. I wanted to try the car pro to see how I like it compared to my others. I just picked up a GTechniq mitt to try and it's made of the same wool.
Why do you brush out the mitt? Did you have to do much prep before you used it (removing burrs and stickers from the wool)?

Re: Review: CarPro Wool Wash Mitt
Looks like a good quality mitt and I really like the way your hand just slides in with no wrist band....thats a huge plus for me.
I have a Wookies Fist and the care for long haired wool mitts is a bit of a PITA but I feel it is worth it for those delicate vehicles that some of us baby.
Nice review and now in my wish list! BTW I think $20 is reasonable!

Re: Review: CarPro Wool Wash Mitt
Great review as always! I've been eyeing that mitt for a while!
Quick question: I noticed in the video that you washed half the hood, including a bit of the front grille (and the vent on the hood), and went back and forth many times, all w/o going to the rinse bucket (or rinsing mitt with hose). Is this because the car was relatively clean to begin with? If had more caked on dirt would you have done just one or two passes before rinsing the mitt?
Thanks.

Re: Review: CarPro Wool Wash Mitt
Very nice review Corey ,
few things to comment...
we made the WWM one side only because the idea is to rinse it without pulling your hand out and just squeeze it with your palm.
the long wool hair is to ensure less possible swirling the paint even if the car is very dirty
the dirt will get trapped into the wool but less possible to "return" back to car surface. and as you saw will be easy to wash the dirt off the wool hair.
also, we made it one side wool because of the water/soap absorbing , while other wool wash gets very heavy on your hand and consume allot, with our ..lets say its half the total weight.
thank you

Good point, Avi......my Wookies Fist sucks up a lot of the wash solution with only one side being useful......hmmmmm I need one of these soon!
