I'm sure the Micro Fiber mitts 'work', they are often not soft and plush enough to safely clean your entire vehicle. They lack the paint safe fibers and pockets of space that ensure you don't grind in contaminants while washing. The extremely soft collection of natural paint safe fibers of Sheepskin makes this a premium wash mitt for top quality detailing work. Equally important is that contaminates in the mitt are easily released when you put the mitt in your rinsing bucket. Releasing contaminates is critical, so they do not remain on the surface while you continue to wash. Sheepskin is made from natural materials, which means there are varying levels of durability compared to synthetic mitts. However the ultra plush natural fibers in the Sheepskin Wash Mitt give you peace of mind knowing you are using a paint safe mitt. Use one for paint and a 'separate' one for rims/tires and you will be impressed with the outstanding results!

 

Don't get me wrong, that sheepskin mitt looks nice and safe. But how do you get tough grime off with that thing? I get grime on the lower parts of my truck that would probably shred that thing.

 

The soap should dissolve the grime, not the mitt. You will end up pushing the particulates around on the paint and then scratch it. A good coat of wax will help the soap remove the 'grime' as it will not stick......think of a teflon pan,

I use this stuff on all my vehicles. I buy all my needed supplies through this web site. All you need is a cap full to 4 gallons of water. This stuff goes a long way. Even when I can't get to them right away, after it has sit for a week with dry crusted mud and dirt on the paint, this stuff works like magic! Like fascistfaction said, its all in the soap, the wax you put on prior is where it counts most. As far as the Sheepskin mitts are concerned, they are tougher than you think.

 

Although I prefer a lambs wool mitt myself, I do use microfiber and have even used a sponge. When used correctly they all can be safe. A lamb wool mitt can mess up your paint if you wash incorrectly.

The real key is to work in small sections (do not do half the ride with one dip in the bucket) and keep rinsing the mitt well in the rinse bucket (two bucket method). If you just use one bucket be sure you fill it up with proper soap/water mixture. Some have two mitts - one for upper half and one for lower half.

Be sure your mitts are clean along with your drying towel.

 

This is how you do it!

 

Is there an echo in here??

 

Yep and how many serious detailers do it plus blown 346 (the echo comment) but I did add about working small areas note. I usually never do more than 1/2 of anything (hood, roof, door, deck lid) without going back to the buckets except on glass.
