Looking for Opti-Mitt

**IID** · 03-03-2017, 08:19 PM

Good evening and happy Friday to you all.
I see Autogeek/OPT no longer offers the 8" Opti-Mitt.

If anyone has one/couple new one's they would like to get rid of, please PM me.

Optimum Opti-Mitt, foam wash mitt, wash pad, double-sided wash mitt, optimit

If you get no results, try the Optimum Big Red Wash Sponge or the Ultra Soft Microfiber Rinseless Wash Mitt there are many happy users of the micro-fiber mitt. I still use the mitt and it works nice.

Thank you for the recommendation.
I'm not sure why OPT would discontinue something that works well?

The answer to your question is not whether it worked well but rather did it sell well.

It should of sold well because it works well.

here's another choice to consider, maybe worth a try at only $7...

Optimum Waffle Wash Pad

You're not looking at the big picture. OPT didn't discontinue it, it was a version of the Shmitt which was made by Edge. Then Edge sold their name and part of their product line to 3M, and kept making the other products under the name IAP (Innovative Accessory Products). Then Aaron got on Shark Tank and now he's too busy making kitchen sponges to bother with car products anymore. So anyway, the answer to your question is that Optimum can't get it any more.

I have one, I've used it maybe 5 times, just didn't like it. I kept missing spots with it since the entire surface doesn't touch the paint unless you press down a good bit.

Thank you for clarifying.
