I've had one for a while & used it a few times now with good results, you can feel the difference it makes with your fingertips, much easier/quicker than a clay bar :thumbsup:

I much prefer the G3 mitt over a bar its much quicker as well, I done my old mans motor the other week the paint felt
like sandpaper before and afterwards it was so smooth.

Just keep the mitt well lubed up marlon :wink:

Is the mitt washable and reusable? A bar isn't...

First I copy you and get my Coupe remapped, and now I've ordered this mitt too! Such a trend setter Marlon! Haha

Your Zed is already too shiny Marlon. There are a lot more deserving causes, such as mine. I' m hoping to clean mine this weekend in preparation for Zedfest. I will use up the clay bar I already have, but it's a mitt for next time.
