    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    Circling back after using it 3X. I have it setup with the dragon plush cover. The sponge inside the cover is quite thick....soaks up a good amount of water. I don't think I've even bothered doing a half pass on the SUV and re-dunking it in the bucket. It does make for extremely quick work of...

    Microfibers are super linty.

    Even after all these years.....I still haven't concluded it. What cause MF to *lint rot*.....My MFM started lifting badly after a a few uses. To the point. where I don't even bother using them at all. All other makes/manuf (In daily rotation is TRC and Griots PFM) have never developed this issue .

    Whats the go-to wash mitt now days?

    Re: fluff bits. IME, it doesn't shed but just due to the nature of the strands, in certain spots of the car, maybe also due to body panel/seam/gap, etc, it may -catch- and a fiber might snag when you continue making the pass on it. Out of all the media styles, I still prefer this one though

    Kinda Nice Not Having to Do the Work....

    WELP....it was clean for at least half a day until I got home and pollen is just dusted. I'll have to find that old thread and re-read it . Something to the effect of an electrical ground on the panels, etc - and its effect of static, pollen etc. Not sure if those theories in that thread...

    Kinda Nice Not Having to Do the Work....

    Car was at the -pro shop- for some post PPF touchups. This time of the year, pollen galore I gotta say tho....it really is kinda refreshing picking up a nice clean car when dropping off a dirty one and not having to do the legwork.....HA. Too bad he's in a different state over. If he was...

    Do you put anything on you Steering Wheel

    I have never even looked, considered or even read up on Combo Products....in my mind, a product is a direct purpose application....does the cleaner in the 3-in-1 , how effective does the conditioner portion of it work due to the cleaner function in it as well. I was thinking about Colourlock...

    Do you put anything on you Steering Wheel

    I keep my steering wheel raw post cleaning....figuered the hand oils in between the next wipedown is enough..... I was on Colourlock site and noticed they had a steering wheel refinish kit Mine is nowhere near that but the LSP they advise is shield...

    AutoFiber Scrub Ninja - Anyone use it -long term-

    18 months later......I bit the bullet and used my Scrub Ninja on my Steering Wheel and Outer Bolsters for the 1st time. I did not do a pre-clean of the steering wheel before but with the same interior cleaner on the scrub ninja, it did bring my steering wheel down to *matte* whereas with the...

    Useful tip for the cheap clear foam cannons

    I think that just with the territory of it being clear plastic ? Similar to HDPE vs PET bottles ? I love the super clear PET bottles for shampoo and such. But if course I drop it, it cracks, it shatters......still use PET bottles as I prefer the clear look

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    Yes and no...that's my biggest thing with wash media. I do like to feel a tactile response....which tells me which panels are dirtier and which panels are just gliding...with this setup, I lose all that. I float my mitt lower or higher on the panel.....depending on feedback one gets when *hand...

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    Haven't used it but unpacking impressions. Handle I was thinking 2 pieces....for shipment purposes. It is in 3 pieces. All 3 yo thread together n , which is nicer than the pushbutton QuickLock of the supper terrible twist-lock compression style for these sort of wands... Granted, my carpal...

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    After hemming and hawing on this, ended up buying it. Hasn't arrived yet but I suspect, I might need to do a 2 sided DIP *long side* to get full coverage of shampoo. Unless it was designed so that the mitt head is small enough that a single dip into the bucket will fit the entire head. I...

    Bodyshop Error.......advice on approach

    Thanks for the third POV. I don't think it was painted to *blend* but I suppose that may have been the case. Crazy it's so obvious when you look at it but I totally missed this when picking it up

    Bodyshop Error.......advice on approach

    Bumper replaced. That had fresh paint obviosly The cloudy lower portion was probably swapped from the original bumper (not new) (afaik, not painted/blended) I'm not entirely sure but the matte portion looks like it was*scuffed* for clear coat but it never got clear . I did not notice it upon...

    Washing Carpets via Extractor vs Vac:PW : sucking vs blowing

    Catchy title :rolleyes: I suppose you gotta use what tools you have. I do have a extractor and prefer that when doing fabric I've seen plenty of videos of pressure washing carpets, taking a drill brush and spin brush agitating, etc. In my mind, I've always looked at it as pushing the dirt...

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    Yes, 4-5 times on the platform sounds about right. 2X on the sides. Once on the back... Always trying to find a better mousetrap.....I feel like it's one of those things I'm trying to talk myself into it even though I probably won't like it.

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    I should not be using this as a comparison but when I think of such a tool.....these come into my mind Similar in ergonomics to the MF sleeve on a Unger T Bar on a Handle I use to wash the house windows every spring after winter has passed or a snow roof rake......same effect. Long Handle...

    Glaze and Lotsa Fillers

    No, as I expected they needed to de-nib and polish out the clear as SOP regardless. And I wasn't going to tell them how to *run their shop*..... It's all PPF so only thing that will need TLC is just the fresh painted parts. Just been awhile since I've had a car loaded with fillers......

    AutoFiber Mitt on a Stick

    Does anyone own it. Mainly for washing the roof on the SUV. I've looked at it on and off on this over the last few year Not that one sees the *roof* of the SUV anyway I skipped on it as long handle, head on front....just might as cumbersome as just being on a platform ladder . They must have...
