Emergency wash mitt

[jcarr]

At my in-laws for the weekend........

I have packed everything possible for keeping my challenger spotless after driving 250 miles this evening to my in-laws. I have some bugs and brake dust to deal with in the morning but I just realized I forgot my Adams wash pads. I have literally everything else 2 buckets with grit guards, foam gun, boars hair brushes, etc.

Is there a wash mitt that anyone can reccomend from an autoparts store that will safely clean my paint? Ironically I just ordered a spare wash pad that is on it's way next week.

Thanks

I feel your pain bro. I do not know of any store purchased mitt that will work. A word of caution, I did what you are contemplating and bought a wash mitt from an auto store before I had Adams mitt. A few days after washing I saw scratches that were no doubt from poor quality wash pad. Be careful.

I also was on a road trip and ended up just going to a local car wash to keep it washed off. Just sprayed and jumped on the highway to give it a quick air dry. It wasn't close to a nice 2 bucket wash but it was better and I know in my paint did not get scratched.

 

Use caution, if you don't have all the right tools, you may be best served to wait until you do.

 

Let us know what you decide.

check on the website to see if there is an authorized dealer near where you are staying and pick some up

Enjoy your visit and forget washing your car...just my $.02:jester:

you could always bring a cd into the store and rub the back hard with the mitt/towel and see if it scratches, heard that's a good way to test microfiber

That is detailing dedication there. You packed the two bucket wash. Sorry but i usually cant even remember underwear on a trip.

Might just be me, but I would call you obsessed. Just use one of your soft towels as the mit.

I decided to let it ride and not wash it as it rained on and off all weekend. Like the soft towel as a wash mitt idea. My wife calls me obsessed all the time. Sometimes I need a little break from my mother in law too;)!

Problem with a towel as a wash pad is the fibers are very short which means the dirt sits close to the surface and has a higher potential of causing scratches.

 

I know the MF pads sold at AP stores blow chunks. Not worth a penny.

Totally agree, learned that lesson the hard way, then had to spend several hours of paint correction.

just take it to a gas station wash.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
