What is the 'best' wash mitt?

That's what my gut feeling said too. When I read the description where it says that the dirt will slide into the cubes... I thought it was one of the 'sounds better in theory than it does in practice' type of things.

I have used the LC Garage Sponge and the Ulti Mitt with no problems. The cube cut works IME. Have you used one and found otherwise?
 
Anyone tried the bone? I like just holding something rather than putting my hand in it. The chenille are a bit heavy for my liking as well.

I like the Bone for ONR washes. It is easy to grip and is light too.

Honestly, no. Its just a feeling that I cant shake. I'm sure it just because I haven't seen one / felt one in person. And I am hesitant to order it online just because of the extra shipping costs for something that I may or may not like.

I read through it already. I didn't find it very helpful, as it seems like all the mitts are on pretty even ground. I am more looking more for peoples personal experiences with a given mitt. Thanks anyway :xyxthumbs:

In that case my vote goes to the MF Chenille. That is almost all I've used. I haven't tried the wool. I did purchase a couple Schmitt's and I do like them for a few reasons but I don't like how I feel like I need to press harder then I like. For a real dirty car or one thats about to get polished I like them a lot. I just got the big blue cube but haven't used it yet.
 
I like a mitt to have some kind of fingers (wool, mf chenille, etc) since it seems to get in cracks, under door pulls, grills, etc. better than a sponge like products but I do like some sponges once in a while. There are too many good detailers using sponges to write them off as unilaterally unsafe on paint.

I've been thinking of trying one of those "dredlock" microfiber mitts, though I do love my sheepskins. They just take forever to dry.
 
And just to inform everybody - I got the chance to use a sea sponge, and an ulti-mitt. I find that I like the MF dreadlock style better, just personal preference.

I guess it is down to: the cobra MF dreadlock mitt, or the Carrand MF mitt. Can anybody comment on their quality / durability?

Looks like a great one! Does anybody else have any thoughts on it?

If you have a PepBoys near you they carry TONS of Carrand products. I don't find *ANY* of them particularly high quality though.

My Cobra Chinelle Microfiber Mitt (Dreadlock) has held up very well. I use it for the lower portion of my car as I find that it cleans better, but is not as gentle on my paint as my GS-50 sheepskin mitt. I'm hoping to try out the Dodo Juice Short-Haired Wookie mitt soon...

Are you getting marring from the chenille mitt?
