What is your favorite wash mitt?

Downside is that it can get costly but the convenience of never having to refill two buckets, empty them out etc was worth it for me, wait for a 25-30% off deal at Adams, they sell 3 pads for 24.99 you can probably buy 12 pads for 60-70... You'll easily get years worth of use out of them as long as you take care of them, great roi imho...
Rag company has great microfiber, I use their pluffle drying towel. That new wash pad looks very heavy though to manipulate into cracks and crevices, the Adams is light and you can maneuver it much easier, but their pluff towel is great for drying, I use mostly with rinse less and their Korean eagle edgeless towels are one of the best Imo... Not too good for super sticky sealants and coating wipe offs, but they do work very well for spray sealants like reload cv2 optiseal

That's good to know about the towels. I switched over to the Griots PFM drying towel, and I don't see myself using a different brand any time soon. The ideal towel for wax/sealant/coating removal is short knap towels.

That's good to know that adams has them for cheap. I paid $21-22 for 2 of them, but I got them immediately, so it was worth it. Do you use 12 per car or is that so you have enough to only wash the mitts every couple of weeks? I can't even think of where I would be able to store 12 more wash mitts. lol

The griots Pfm drying towel is great! but its so costly.... And with rinse less wash the rag company pluffle does a great job for me with rinse less washes, any slight dirt that I may have missed during the prerinse/mf saturated clean mf wiping stages will be caught with the high naps on that towel.

I store my towels in 20qt plastic bins, but I'm running out of shelf space for additional bins. That size happened to be perfect fit for the shelves the previous owner of my house built.
The PFM towel is pricey, it took a while for me to convince myself that a towel that cost that much is worth it. I started with the small size just to sample, then I bought the large one. After that an amazon seller mispriced it, and I bought 6 more for 25% off.

I would choose the mf chenille style mitt over that particular meguiars mitt because it can hold more soap, and it'll do a better job of lifting dirt off the paint.

Finally joining the coating life the car stays cleaner a lot longer and a lot less bonded contamination that needs agitation to remove the above. It really works.
