The hot topic continues, what's the best thing to wash your car with.

Mitten if you're worried about breaking a nail

sponge for me!!! (can't vote)

and going on the previous comment...think mitten would be good for noodles :P so he don't break a nail lol

um, i use a microfiber sponge....so cross between the 2........and they only cost a quid lol.

i have a sponge but i just bought a mitt thing while bored walking about in b&q last week lol

My car and van and bike have crap paint so a sponge is fine for me

So your'e saying if it was a nice paint job you'd use a mitt

Yep and i wouldn't use a jet wash on good paint either,i feel they are too harsh,although i have seen people wash with a mitt and then jet wash the soap off,i only use one on wheels and under arches or on crap paint lol.

sponge. them chamois it dry. cant leave it dry on it's own leaves to many water marks

Sponges for me. One knackered one for the wheels and under the arches. A good one for the rest. Followed by a thourogh leathering and a beer.

Micro fiber mitt (since I read about them, sponge before this car...and for lesser cars), can't be arsed with the chamois....Run it up the bypass at about a ton, it'll blow all the water off.

You give your car beer?

Easier just not to wash the car

works for me

not got many round here, got some japanese students, could round them up I suppose

I have a friend of mine that helps out with the windows:

Prefer to use a very soft brush to wash our Fiero & other motors - gets into all the door & window & trim gaps better than a sponge, and doesn't retain any grit that gets loosened but potentially trapped into sponges...
