Microfiber Madness

Nope, I'm still confused.

"Rinseless wash" and "waterless wash" are two different methods. Again, I've never heard of anyone using a chenille mitt to perform a "waterless wash."
 
I got my terms wrong. I am talking about using a Megs Wash Mitt for Rinseless washes. I was using the word Wash Less when I meant waterless. I would not do a water less wash on any of my cars but I have no problems with doing a Rinseless wash on any of them. I would not do it if they were caked in mud. But if they having been driven through the rain for several days, Rinseless seems to do just fine.

Another poster on this forum described the difference:

Waterless wash is designed to use virtually no water. Just spray on and wipe off. Rinseless still uses 5-10 gallons in the buckets but doesn't require "rinsing" off, instead you simply dry the paint with a drying towel and use a QD spray if needed for lube.

If you will read my posts, I am advocating a Megs Mitt not a chenille mitt. I stated I was going to purchase and compare Chinchilla Microfiber Buffing Cloth, 16 x 16 inches (not a mitt) against the Megs Mitt.
 
Meguiars mitt works great for a Rinseless or traditional 2bm. For waterless I use a nice 530 ish gsm MF towel.

great wash mitt and it's not overly priced, and too thick in which I do no care for as it soaks up too much water/soap solution which makes it too heavy. since it's white you can monitor it as you wash as well...

Not trying to give you a hard time, but what are you washing with 10 gallons of rinseless wash?

I got the Microfiber Madness flat wash pad and love it. Don't regret spending the $ at all. It releases dirt in the rinse bucket almost as easily as sheep skin mitt. I also bought the Microfiber Madness bone shaped wash pad and do not like the size or shape of it.

Autogeek isn't "threatened" by a simple question--it's a matter of manners, they pay for this forum, and they make the rules. They are actually quite lenient in their enforcement. I just personally think it's in bad taste to start a thread specifically to compare 2 products, neither of which are sold here.

As far as my reference to the ".org" forum, I refer to the former AutopiaForums.com, which was/is owned by PBMG, and is an open forum.

RSurfer,

I was just quoting another poster and he was probably meaning the bucket size or the amount of water he uses. I put 2-1/2 gal of water in a 5 gal bucket that contains a gritgard. I keep a smaller tupper ware container for fresh water after I clean and rinse out the mitt in the 5 gal bucket. If the water in the 5 gal container starts to get dirty I dump the water in my garden and add another 2 gals of clean water to my 5 gal bucket.
 
If you like overpaying for MF towels then by all means buy the MFM ones. I mostly use CG workhorse towels and they rock. Have a bunch of the 530 and pink cobras but they arent really all that soft even after multiple washes. They are thick but not soft. Next up will be TRC eagles.
 
I'd put TRC eagles up against any MF on the market at a very low price.
 
As soon as the next sale hits Ill load up and test em out. Seems like buying MF is a never ending circle for me. I was hoping the cobras were gonna be the end of the line but not really.

If I had a nickel for every MF towel I have...I'd be able to buy some more MF towels...
