Which is the best mitt that won't open a hole in you pocket?

Thanks,

The chenille wash mitts are affordable and work great.

I really like these for the money if you're open to using a sponge.

Lake Country Foam Car Wash Sponge, big blue wash sponge, lake country sponge, lake country grout sponge, car wash, shampoo (http://www.autogeek.net/car-wash-sponge.html)

I tried to edit my response but I ran out of time.

If you have done or plan on doing any machine polishing, I'd highly recommend getting a high quality wash mitt. Think about it...what will touch your cars surface way more times than a foam pad?...wash mitt. I'd highly recommend getting one of these:

Merino wool wash mitt, auto wash mitt, sheepskin wash mitt (http://www.autogeek.net/carpro-wool-wash-mitt.html)

Sheepskin wash mitt, Supernatural Wash Mitt, The Wookie mitt, wool wash mitt (http://www.autogeek.net/supernatural-wash-mitt.html)

Not only that, but these merino wool mitts last about 100x longer than anything else I've used, so they're totally worth the money...especially the CarPro mitt.

:whs: Like I said, I have 4 of those chenille wash mitts and a few of them have already starting degrading. I still use my sheepskin wash mitt that I got about 3 years ago...its still going strong. My Dodo Juice Wookies Fist still looks brand new.

Now I will say this...with these wool and sheepskin wash mitts, it requires alittle bit of maintenance. I went out and got a metal pet brush and I will brush the mitt after letting it dry on a grit guard. I usually try to do this a few hours after its been sitting as well as the next day. I'll flip it as well.

Stash your cash and pay the extra money for the higher quality mitts...you'll thank me later.

only use this if you have hard clear. I tested this on my passenger door with a rinseless and let's just say, I now have a panel I'll be doing some polish testing on come spring...

The wash mitts I recommended both have their pros. The Dodo juice mitt you can use both sides. When I'm washing, I'll use one side and then flip to do the other side as I go. But I do face the resistance with putting it on and off. With the Carpro wash mitt, you can easily place your hand in. I like the idea of the Dodo wash mitt better because you can maximize the wash mitt with both sides.

I agree.
Buy in bulk at just over $3 each, The Meguiar's white MF wash mitts are the most economical mitt I have ever used.

If you like sponge, try Lowes Grout Sponge.
I think they are like $1.98 each?

There isn't a mitt made that I would buy. Pads only and for my money Adams synthetic wash pads are nothing short of perfect. I have one that's four years old and another just purchased. You cannot tell which is the new one. Not an Adams guy but those wash pads are outstanding.
