ChargerMatt Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You could sit there and pick them out 1 by 1 or get a super duper conductive magnet. Probably gonna need to buy a new wash mit. Unless you use it to demo your car as what not to do lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way to get it out or do I need a new one? Thank you Welcome Sauwceboss! You have 2 choices, understanding that steel wool, however fine, will leave microsratches in your paint. Which is what you are trying to avoid with the wash pad and 2 bucket. 1. Comb/Pick/Vacuum out fibers and hope they are all removed. But the word "ton" tells me you wont' be able to do that 100%. 2. Get a new wash pad for $10 I vote for #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'd let your friend buy the Merino mitt for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I wouldn't chance it. Toss it and get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Toss it! Not worth what it will do to your finish. You time is more valuable than that, let alone the time you will spend correcting the finish if you wash with that steel wool wash pad! Eeesh, makes me cringe just thinking about it, esp if you have black paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossAngeles Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wow after a wash all of it came out. I'm still going to go ahead and buy another just to be on the safe side but wow. Good to know what apc and a long wash cycle can do haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymrat7953 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 all that you could see came out... what you don't see is what to worry about; junk it and spend the $10.00 ... not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw that thing away or it's going to end up costing you more than the cost of a new mitt. And you better pray that not one piece of that steel wool ends up in your bath towels, underwear, or anything else or you'll be buying a new washing machine. I guarantee, if you were my kid......you'd be buying a new machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
