What is the best wash mitt for suds?
Hey I've been using the Meguiars microfiber wash mitt and recently got a big black stain on it, so I'd like to buy a new mitt to be safe. I was just wondering which mitt you think is the best at maintaining suds yet very safe for the paint? I plan on buying a foam cannon at some point but not very soon due to price. Also what do you think is the sudsiest (?) shampoo? I'm currently using Pinnacle, and I really like it but curious if there's anything you like better? Sorry if it's been discussed before.
Thanks

Just bought a wookies fist and I'm never going back...
I scratched my head at the $40 price tag, but honestly, it's worth it!
For wash, I like the P21s and DG901 soaps.

I was gonna order the Wookies but it's in back order. I am using this CarPro Wool Wash Mitt and it's very very good. I used to use MF wash mitt but it's no comparison to the wool carpro mitt.
The wool mitt glide so effortlessly on the paint that i know won't scratch it. I'll never go back to MF mitt.

Re: What is the best wash mitt for suds?
The "Ulti-Mitt" made by Lake Country holds a LOT of soapy water and then you make a fist it squeezes out through the pores in the foam making lots of suds. I often do that and then pat the surfaces just ahead of where I'm currently washing to have some bubbly lubrication for when my hand comes wiping across there. Like the lower areas that get the dirtiest and gritty, and risk scratching the paint.
The old LC mitt was double sided so you could flip it around for a fresh clean and soapy side, but last year they changed it to one sided. This was a big mistake - (are you listening LC? Put it back the way it was.... or lower the price. )
But it will still do what I said about holding wash water and suds.
Their blue sponge is also great for this, maybe better, but it's not a mitt.

I love my lambs wool mitt (the one with the light brown cuff) but I found that it removes more wax than the LC foam. It also cleans better but if the car isn't very dirty the foam gets is clean and leaves the wax. I can go longer between waxes with the LC mitt.

Re: What is the best wash mitt for suds?
I like AG's natural sea sponge Large Natural Sea Sponge It gets into all the cracks and crevices and nook and crannies better than microfiber (MF) or foam. It rinses out better than MF. MF can hold abrasive materials in it's fibers that can be hard to clean out. These materials could end up scratching the car.
The sponge is more "variable power" than foam. Very gentle when used with light pressure and can take off tar and bugs when used aggressively. It's held up better than non-natural sponges and the foam applicators I've used.
It's also easier to clean a sponge than MF or foam. I have to machine wash and/or use harsh chemicals to clean my MF and foam. Sponges usually rinse clean with water. If soaked with a non water-soluable chemical (e.g. waxes), sponges are still easier to clean and require less cleaning fluid.
In the past, I've cleaned my wheels and tires with MF. This really discolors the MF and I've never got them clean again. Once MF is used on tires and wheels, most people dedicate the MF towels to tire/wheel use only because it gets so dirty. You don't want to risk dirty MF on body paint. When I switched to the sponge, it rinses out in seconds and is as clean as new.
I also used to use the Meguiars MF mitt to but now prefer the sponge.
