which mitt/pad you guys use?
Hello all, just curious which wash mitt or pads everyone use to clean their F10's.
Im currently using the Microfiber Madness wash sponge but I consider it small. So I decided to go big while minimizing swirls and ordered the Rag Company Cyclone mitt and pad combo. The pad measures 10x10 and holds a ton of suds. https://www.theragcompany.com/the-cy...rofiber-combo/ I decided to have more fun when washing my car and also ordered the Adams wash pad which is also 10x10. I have read a lot of good reviews on this one. http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-10-c....html?___SID=U Last but not least I also ordered the chemical guys green chenielle wash mitt http://www.chemicalguys.com/Chenille..._p/mic_493.htm I also was interested on getting the Dooka wash pad which is very popular in the UK. I tried to order it but they cant ship to US and territories. Anyone has ordered this Dooka pad or share its experience?

When the car is not too dirty I use pretty much one of the stuff that you posted. Good MicroFiber Sponge.
However, when it is really dirty I use what is known as Masonry Sponge. This thing won't hold any small particles and keep dirt in it unlike many of the mirofiber sponges. It was a trick that I learned from one of the long time detailers. Here is a link as an example. Masonry Sponge

I use the last one you linked, the Chemical Guy one with a double wash bucket method.

I think I've tried almost every wash mitt out there. I've tried real sponges, and synthetic sponges and didn't like that they seemed to hold dirt and stones in the sponge which then could scratch the paint as you use them. I've tried synthetic lambs wool mitts, real lambs wool mitts, and even the wookie fist:
I wasn't real impressed with any of them because they all (especially the wookie fist) shed quite a bit as time went by. Currently using a chenille mitt and so far I am happy with the performance.
