Deluxe Microfiber Car Wash Drying Mitts, 2 Pack, Grey, 30 cm L x 20 cm W

****** 6 MONTH UPDATE ********. After using these weekly (l have to park my cars under trees and tree sap is a huge problem) for the past 6 months these continue to impress: used and machine washed and worked hard they show no signs of wearing out. I am impressed. ********* I bought these to replace a sponge l was using to clean my car - what an upgrade. These Amazon mitts are very impressive: - they are highly absorbent, allowing me to liberally slop shampoo over my car very quickly - they are very soft and leave no swirl marks on the car once washed - they do not leave any lint residue on the car - for me they are the right size, any larger would make them cumbersome and inefficient to use - they are a vast improvement on a sponge and allow me to do a better job far more quickly. When I am finished washing the car with the mitts I put them in the washing machine for a short 20 minutes cycle, I am aware that some people say that they should only be rinsed out by hand but I lack the patience and time to do this. So far after multiple washes the mitts are still in excellent condition. I take the view that machine washing them may reduce their lifespan a little but given the low price I will simply replace them with another identical pair. So far they seem durable. I simply peg them on a clothes line to dry out. This brings me to value, these mitts are substantially cheaper than comparable mitts also for sale and are as good and possibly better. For the price they are very good value. From my experience I recommend them.

I bought a pair of these, so I can use one on each hand and do the job faster. The quality is great, they're big and thick and they do a brilliant job. As others have mentioned, because of their size, they weigh a lot when soaked in water. This makes them a lot heavier than mitts I've used before, but it just took some getting used to. I thinks that's a plus point, as it means you're applying lots of clean soapy water to your paintwork, which has to be a good thing. I still use the 2 bucket method, so I rinse them off in fresh water before dunking back into the suds. Apparently this is no longer cool with the pros, who use snow foam first, but it works well for me, and I'm not that precious. Very pleased so far.

Overall this is a good quality mitt, and it certainly retains a tonne of water, as well has having a good cleaning ability, but it is let down by being very hard to control with your hand as the weight of it moves it around too much. I think some simply finger webbing inside would solve this, but for now I think it might be better to buy a slightly more expensive product to avoid having "death grip" fingers at the end of your car wash!

I use these mitts to dry off my car after washing or to apply body detail spray to panels or rain repellant to car windows. Very absorbent, soft thick lint free fibres, easy to wear, very effective. Machine wash without fabric conditioner so as not to affect the fibres. Brilliantly re-usable. I have 6 to continually swap out during a car clean to ensure no micro grit scratches the paint. 2 and half years in with home cleaning of my car and no swirls or micro scratches on the paint work. Brilliant product.

Well made practical products

These mitts are like water vacuum cleaners. They absorb large quantities of water and they hold on to it so no smearing on my shower room walls. Do consider how you will dry it after use because it really does hold tight onto a large volume of water. I use the spin cycle on my washing machine.

Was able to wash a car in 15 mins so a bit quicker than via brush / sponge. The only downside is that they get heavy with water so if you washing from above to down then the mitts are beyond your fingers as the weight pulls them down. Also, if you need to taken off (say to hose down the section you’ve done) they are not the easiest to get back on (again due to them being waterlogged) All in all, happy with these - effort and seems to have done a thorough job which you wouldn’t get from a brush and no scraped knuckles from using a sponge.

The pack of 2 car wash mitts are made of good quality materials and are very soft and absorbent. They work a lot better than a sponge but when fully wet are very heavy and can easily slip off your hand. I wear extra large gloves so anyone with small hands may find the mitt heavy and difficult to use. Ideally, the mitts could do with being smaller with a tighter elasticated wrist. I’ve used the mitt around half a dozen times so far but in all honesty I’m getting very frustrated with them slipping off my hand. If they drop on the ground it takes an age to clean them because any tiny particles of grit could cause hundreds of pounds worth of damage to the paintwork or windows.
