Lately, there’s been a new kid on the block: the “cyclone” 70/30 microfiber blend wash mitt. I tested out one of the most popular ones on Amazon: the TAKAVU Cyclone Wash Mitt. It comes in a blue/white color scheme and looks practically identical to many of the other ones on the market today.
For a long time now, I’ve been perfectly content washing my car using the commonly used pile-type chenille wash mitts. They’ve worked quite well for me over the years, but now I’m starting to notice some other types of wash mitts being sold that got me interested. So, I purchased a few different kinds to try out. One of them is the INEBIZ Lambswool Wash Mitt. It’s an extra soft wash mitt that is made to be scratch-free and lint-free.
Nowadays, you have all kinds of different wash mitts, but for a long time I’ve used these chenille wash mitts made by Relentless Drive. It’s a 2-pack set of wash mitts in a blue color. I’ve personally owned this particular set for more than three years and continue to use them to this day. I wanted write a quick review on them as they are just a fantastic product and I recommend them to anyone looking for a wash mitt.
First off, this product was provided to me by Meguiar’s for testing. This product is Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wash and Wax. This product is a bit different from your typical “wash and wax” product as it has two separate chambers: one larger one with the car soap, and another with a smaller one that contains the SiO2 boost “wax”.
What is the Two Bucket Method? Simply put: the two bucket wash method is way to hand wash your car that minimizes the chance of creating scratches or swirls on your car. It involves (as the name suggests) two buckets: one for washing and one for rinsing your wash mitt.
Washing wheels is an important part of cleaning your vehicle. Neglect the wheels and the car won’t appear to be completely clean with just a car wash alone. Cleaning and protecting the wheels can be approached in a similar way that you wash the car’s paint. The wheels are typically much dirtier than the car’s paint surface since the wheels not only collect dirt and abrasives, but also collects brake dust that comes off of the brake pads. These particles are much more abrasive than the typical contaminants because they can be made up of may organic materials, as well as metallic ones.
Washing your car is fundamental to maintaining your vehicle whether you’re doing an occasional maintenance wash or getting the vehicle ready to perform a more involved detail. The main purpose of washing the exterior is to remove light contaminants on the surface of the paint. This is done as a general car wash to make your car look clean again, but it also prepares your car for more detailing if you decide to go that route.
