You could always use them for wheels or wheel wells.

Thanks Joe. It was a mess! I only wish you could have seen the exterior before pics! Talk about horrors! I love my Souveran! I wonder if everybody in the world had a can of it if there would be world peace? They'd all be too busy looking at their cars to fight!

Before you run out and toss them in the dumpster make sure that the replacement is everything you expect under all circumstances. Sheep skin mitts have been used this long for a reason. I'm not knocking the Shmitt at all, I plan on trying it but will reserve judgment until I'm completely satisfied.

LOL maybe you should just give them to a friend. We all know somebody who still uses a dishwashing rag to wash their cars, I'd say they'd be a good candidate to receive a quality sheepskin mitt.

Thats what I thought too, but all this talk about hte shmitt was starting to change my mind, I mean I keep my sheepskins clean and don't use them on very dirty cars, so there not neglected, but I do want to try the shmitt, do you use sheepskins? And whats your thoughts on this whole thing?

I use sheepskins and look forward to trying the Shmitt out. It appears to be a good product and the reviews have been most favorable.

WOW! Awesome! Sorry it took so long to do that detail, but you got to use products that been setting around like XMT3! Great stuff huh! I agree with you on that. The bug looks better then new. You have done an outstanding job on the pics. Thanks for the little review on the Shmitt. Tip on the clay, you can cut it up into 4 or 5 pieces. Clay Magic is big like 200 g. Great work.

I was using the 100g bar cut into two pieces and went through all 4 of them on that car! I've never seen such contaminated paint before!! But I guess you can't really call yourself a detailer until you've been truly challenged.
