Wash Mitts

Just ordered a couple new wash mitts form Excel detail ( West Coast Detail Supply ) .... The Eurow brand is unreal .. The last one I got was 2 full summers ago and is just now showing signs of wear. BTW I wash my car 3 times a week from Mar to Oct so do the math.

I don't even treat them nice I just throw them over the edge of the wash bucket till next use. Never have any shedding or the likes.

The last one I got was the medium one and it was plusher than anything I have run into before .. this time I orderd the Medium & the Heavy one just to see what its like.

They should be here in a week or so and I'll report back on the quality of the heavy one.

The swirls you won't get and won't have to remove is well worth the cost, Add some ONR to the order to pro rate the shipping down.

I like the ONR not for its inteneded purpose but I add a 1/4 cap to my wash water to add lubricity to the wash soap. I also have an ice cream bucket 1/2 full of the reg. ONR solution and I use it to remove bugs etc. when I get to car shows instead of using a QD & a dry cloth. Saves a lot of marring.

I got the wash mitt with the glove liner inside and it's still working its magic. I was surprised at how it cleaned up the dirt off of the car after all the snow.

I didn't see them on your new website Pat. Any way you can bring them back?

Ahh but the Euro Mitts are left handed mitts!!!

Any ways, I'm surprise how cheap these are. In for two. By the way, what is the differences between the 4 weights?

The weights! Which, could result in thicker pelts, or denser fur, or a combination of both.

I actually just replaced mine withe the Eurow mitt. The good thing about that mitt is that it's completely water proof, whereas I don't believe the Eurow is.

Looking for a new wash mitt myself. I will give this a try. Just placed my order.
Shipping cost as much as the mitt.

If you'd prefer, I could send 1st class and save you a couple $'s.

I didn't see that as an option, but , no thanks.
Sounds like this one is built to last for a while. My other sheepskin mitts usually don't last a year. Looking forward to giving this one a try.
