I also have the "older" style GG Glass Towels and thought they were the best I ever used for cleaning glass - though I do wish they were a little larger. I used the new "Crinkle" Glass towels yesterday. Sprayed some Sonax Glass Cleaner (which happens to be excellent, btw) and these seem to more easily grab up and encapsulate the dirt/dust on the glass more effectively than the older versions. Use the other side to give a remove any steaking and shine up the glass.
Time saver over the older version? Maybe just slightly, but unless you are in a glass cleaning contest, it doesn't matter. But it is a noticeably better product. I just may order another set.
The mitts? Meh, not so impressed. I think they are smaller than they appear or at least what I remembered I saw in the pics. They are certainly thinner than what I was expecting. Sooooooo, I dipped them into my wheel bucket with some GG Brilliant Rinseless Wash and set out to clean the wheels. Since they are relatively thin, the cleaning ability relies on a heavier hand and repeated swipes. They may be beneficial if you want to get on the backside of the spokes, but depending upon spacing, you just may not be able to get your fingertips in there anyhow. And for that reason, these are not effective on the wheel hubs. You certainly can't use these for the lugs. So, after one wheel these sat at the bottom of the bucket and I used a boar's head brush and wheel woolies to make quick and better work of it. I'll figure out some use for theses mitts; it just won't be to clean my wheels.
