You misunderstood. I was telling you to stay AWAY from dd. They take all of your money.

The adams polish/glaze/wax kit is glorious.

Wait....wats wrong with a microfiber mit? Is it not good to wash your car with?

Microfiber picks up and holds onto dirt/grit/anything & everything it touches. Now imagine you're rubbing that all over your car...

Yes, that statement above is incorrect. You want microfiber because what it catches gets caught in deeper pockets of the mitt and DOESNT scratch your car... Especially if you wash correctly... You want Microfiber mitts... or Sheepskin...

I use microfiber and the two bucket system with grit guard. If car is filthy I rub the mit on the guards even more to knock off any dirt/debris that could be stuck to the mit. No scratches! A sponge, wool mit, etc are going to be coming into contact with the same dirt/debris and will be stuck on the mit just as it would be on the microfiber. Microfiber you can see what is on the mit itself as you can a sponge. The wool mits or any mit with the long hair/fabric can hide the dirt/debris causing you to swirl/scratch the paint as you cant easily see it on the mit all the time. My :twocents:
