Default BEST WASH MITT?

Well i noticed using the wash mitt that came with my mr. clean autodry.. seems like it left hair scratches.. otherwise it came from when the dealer first washed the car.. my question is what would be the best wash mitt to use?

I bought a microfiber wash mitt and while washing the car it actually seems like it just drying it lol.. it takes all the water and soap right off into the mitt..

how about the Chenille wash mitts? or an ultra plush wash mitt?

i'm gonna try to buy another type of microfiber wash mitt that seems like it looks like it would do a better job.. i prefer the wash mitt over the spounges and wash pads because it seems easier to wash the car.

pls post brands and how much u paid for ur wash mitt.. i would love to kno what u guys use.

Look for a mitt with a long nap (holds dirt away from the paint) and RINSE OFTEN! (Very important IMO).

Sponges suck because they keep the dirt on their surface and can scratch your paint. Use them on your tires or wheels, just not the paint.

I paid about $6 for a MF mitt with a fairly long nap.

Yes, the be-all-end-all of car care is on Autopia.com.

A fantastic site for those obsessive-compulsive car washers like myself.

Download their car care manual for free...full of great tips/techniques and theories.
