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

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...

 

[Marlon]

Is the mitt washable and reusable?

yes apparently it is, but not sure how long it lasts?

They are a great piece of kit...did my first detail with one and it worked a treat

 

[Marlon]

Thanks for the responses - Can't wait to try it out over the weekend

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.

lol yes i meant a bar

Good to know Rob.
I've been reading various ways to use the Mitt and was wondering how you use yours. What I mean is I'm planning on washing the car first then using a fresh bucket with my usual 'wonder wheels' car shampoo and keeping the Clay Mitt nice and wet at all times working on a panel at a time. Then rinse and towel dry, then finish with a polish. That sound ok?

 

[Smartbear]

That's what I do, as long as you keep the mitt regularly plunged in the soapy water it will be lubricated enough to stop it from gripping & marring the paint.
Once I've gone over the whole car it's an opportunity to get the machine polisher fired up to get rid of the swirls 8)

Been wanting to do this myself for a while but was unsure of the correct sequence, so.
Wash, Clay, Wash, Towel dry, Polish (by hand), Wax ?

Hi Stuart, that's what I've been doing (but I'm no expert) I only polish my car a couple of times a year though-I sometimes use a spray wax after it's been dried but usually it looks great without doing that every time
