Washing a car or truck with a sponge or chamois cloth has a high risk of marring or scratching the paint finish.
Microfiber is soft, absorbent, and non-abrasive. This car wash mitt is softer than sheepskin mitts, so the risk of marring is limited. The microfiber has a high absorption capacity, so it can carry a lot of shampoo solution. The chenille strands carry dirt off the car and easily rinse clean. This means you aren't scratching with sand or other micro-abrasives in the mitt as you wash.
This chenille wash mitt is made of high-quality microfibers woven into plump, caterpillar-like strands. The protruding chenille pile (all the microfiber chenille strands), mean there is a large surface area to pick up dirt and grime from the surface of the vehicle.
Auto Obsessed recommends using two or more mitts during a wash. Light blue or gold colors for the top, and darker grey or black colors for the lower sections of the vehicle.
Look at a dirty vehicle: the sides, skirts, bumpers, and wheel wells have more dirt, mud, and grime than the windows and roof.
As you wash from the top and work your way down, changing out the wash mitt helps limit contamination and marring. Using more than one color makes it easy to keep track of where you are washing. The darker the mitt, the lower you are on the car, the more dirt you are picking up from the surface.
Following these steps will keep your microfiber towels and wash mitts soft and useful for a long time.
