Ok so today here in IL it just so happened to be a rather nice day and I decided to wash my eclipse. I have been waiting for a chance to use my Chemical Guys Premium Extra Thick Wash Mitt. I knew ahead of time that some ppl do not like them be since some have experienced marring. But I decided to give it a shot nonetheless.
Here is where things went downhill. I used the wash mitt with the CG citrus wash n clear. I went in straight lines and rinsed after every panel going from top o bottom. Right after rinsing, my hear sank. My baby was COVERED in micro scratches and marred like hell. All defects were in straight lines, just like I washed!
I was furious. I had corrected my paint around 4 weeks ago after spending 12 hours, and I ruined it in 1 hour. Not only did I waist money on a wash mitt NOT made properly, but I had to spend 5 hours re-polishing my car with m205 and a white pad.:buffing: I'm exhausted and frustrated beyond belief. I might be able to upload a couple photos later of the aftermath of the wash.
In the end though I strongly suggest to everyone who has that prticular wash mitt or was thinking on buying it, DON'T USE IT!!!! :nomore:Trust me it WILL marr your paint, this is coming from someone who owns a black car that shows all imperfections!
On a side note, what is the softest wash mitt out in the market? I'm eager to know :D
