DECODE #8: Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt (8" x 10")
The hand wash, decoded.
LABEL: a mitt, not a sponge. Flat sponges push dirt across paint; a mitt's plush loops lift grit up and trap it away from the surface. Microfiber's split fibers hold more suds and dirt than a flat pad.
CHEMISTRY: wash damage happens at contact. A mitt soaked in soapy water carries dirt in its pile instead of grinding it under a flat pad. Rinse it often, or it stops being a carrier and starts being sandpaper.
NUMBERS: maker claims super-absorbent suds carrying, dirt lifted and trapped, reusable and machine washable, 8 x 10 inches. $11.49 at NAPA á 52 weekly washes â $0.22 per wash in tool cost (estimate, not a printed spec).
FIT: right for a weekly hand wash on any paint, especially dark or soft paint. Skip if you prefer a sponge, or a mitt you never rinse â a loaded mitt scratches just like anything else.
