Best Wash Mitts

I've typically used a wool mitt, but i'm tired of combing out the tangles and maintaining them.

I'm gonna try a microfiber mitt. What does everyone use? I can't tell the difference between chemical guys, griots, mother's... heck, even Amazon sells one now! Is there a best of them? Or are they all mass produced in some chinese factory?

I use the Adams synthetic wool mitt...lots of suds, no swirls, easy to maintain.

i used that one and it marred my paint so much that i cried. I use the two bucket method too. It may have been a one time issue, but it was enough that I was too scared to try using it again.

Chemical Guys sell some nice microfibre ones on Amazon. I use two, each a different color: one for paint, one for wheels.

My long time go to is also the Adams wash mitt. But my new favorite is the Micofiber Madness Incredipad. Seems to release small dirt particles easier than the Adam's synthetic wool pad.

I would recommend using a grit guard during your washing process as it helps clean the wash mitts of any foreign material picked up.

Microfiber Madness Incredimitt or incredipad (preference). Awesome stuff. I trust these the most to avoid marring/scratches
