Clay mitt!
 

Got myself one of these today.. seemed very cheap compared to one or two others and I often drop claybars by accident :|

Might have to give it a test drive at the weekend, as the scoob is well overdue a good deep clean and polish. :polish::polish:

Looks interesting

Be interesting to see what you think Dave. Never seen these before.

Well gave it a go today. I had washed it last week so just gave a quick rinse with the pressure washer then used some megs nzxt + a bit of snow foam in a bucket + some dodo juice clay lube for fun, it worked well! And fast, I had to go back over 1 or 2 bits to get 1 or 2 spots that I missed but it left a glass like finish, it took a similar amount of elbow grease but obviously much bigger surface area your working with so a lot quicker to complete.
To give an idea I started at 2pm and managed to get it finished washed dried + polished and waxed by 6.30! (Including re-cleaning the wheels (as I blasted up the road in the morning ;) ) Bargin for 12.99 in my mind.

Mmmmm sounds good, thanks for the input I may have to look at one of these myself

Never seen one of them before - looks interesting - may have to investigate myself !

did yuo need any lube like with a clay bar or water or do you just use it dry after you washed the car ?

I always use a lube - detailing spray. Find with just water the clay bar sticks :-)

And u can't use them dry - u will cause holograms and u wudnt actually be able to move the bar

... I used some megs NZXT wash in a bucket with some warm water + 1 squirt of PH Neutral snow foam, + some squirts on dodo juice clay lube, though you would be fine with the water in bucket shampoo/snow foam as that on its own is very slippy.

You would never dry clay anything, it wouldn't work.

Watch this vid for a quick guide to the process. then imagine using something the size of a mitt to achieve the same results.

I still haven't got round to buying a clay bar kit yet I must remind myself to get one .

yeah I knew you don;t dry-clay, but this is a mitt, hence why I asked. never seen one before. Think i'll grab one come payday and experiment.

Water and wash/rinse the mitt, clean car first ofc, I really like it, saved a heap of time and couldn't see any marring.

well, I bought a mitt today and clayed and waxed the car.
I have had some paintwork refreshed since I last clayed the car.

I think for a car thats been clayed before, the mitt is definitely better than the clay bar. If the car has never been clayed before or if you have any new paint, then I think the bar is better than the mitt for the first claying session. after that the mitt should be fine.

Mine has been clayed before, So that would follow with my findings too.. what about the time it took you Andy... that was the bit that really made my day ;) :doubleup:

Dave, I have also found this mitt gives good results:
