eBay Microfiber Wash Mitts

[5Toes]

Anybody ever use any of these? I washed my e30 yesterday real good and was complaining about the cheap ass Napa synthetic wash mitts we bought. So she bought these.

Ill let you know the quality when they come. Ebay FTW (sometimes)

Microfiber tends to hold onto grit and stuff which makes for a not-so-good wash mitt. Those are super cheap though so it is worth a shot. Home Depot grout sponges are the best for a cheap, well working washing medium (The Made in Greece ones I believe). Something like 4 bucks if I remember right?

Microfiber is much better than cheap synthetic fuzz wash mitss though.

2 bucket method would likely solve this microfiber problem.

Stuff clings to the microfiber. Which means no matter what you do, you can't get it out. That is why microfibers get ruined sometimes if you drop them. Trust me, grout sponges are best bang for your buck. It is like sea sponge without the big price tag.

Thanks for the heads up on the grout sponges.

I completely agree. I really don't like using microfibers, as all the shit it picks up off the car won't wash out. Two bucket method doesn't change it.

Either way, cheap ass wash mitts.

Just told my Mom about grout sponges... turns out we have one. Hmm

Well they came in a few days ago! Super small! Perfect for dusting, etc. but not for washing cars. Microfiber is fine and everything, just they are the size of a glove, my fingers barely fit inside.

Also the microfiber strands are not very close together, so there isnt that many of them. Making it perfect for dusting.
