I never really gave much thought to the proper wash maintenance untill a few years ago so I haven't had a chance to get use to any one thing, be it sheepskin or cotton ect.

2000... I was going to spend a little more time on MOL as well for the same reason!

Anyway... Good point, I have never really cared what it was made of long as it was soft and made for the car.

Kind of a melted ball burned with black smoke.

It's made out of synthetics, or maybe some sort of blend.

I was thinking that a synthetic chenille mitt might scratch the paint, but maybe not.

why? or again is it just years of "knowing" synthetics will damage because we never had a quality one before now?

I bought a nice looking synthetic chenille wash mitt not too long ago, and after using it a few times, it looked like it might have left some swirl marks on the paint.

After that experience, I was thinking that a quality chenille wash mitt might have to be made out of 100% cotton.....But then again, maybe not.

got cha. I never really like the chenille mitts any way, just because I haven't used them much, but they don't feel as thick. I just never thought too much about what they where made of. same with brushes untill recently.

Uh, guys, don't set yourselves or your mitts and towels on fire playing with tests you don't know how to properly do. Here is the info you should have before fooling around like this:

Pull out and cut some threads and put a match to the end. Carefully observe if the flame lasts or extinguises, if it chars or melts, and what it smells like. Once you have made your observations look at the chart below which will help you determine what you have.

hey, your not the first one to tell us not to play with fire!
cool chart though. I saved it for references. thanks.

IMO the whole "who cares what it's made of" boils down to- while some synthetic mitts *might* be soft enough, certain cotton ones *are* soft enough (at least when wet).

DRTowel- That's a great chart, thanks for posting it. Heh heh, now the fooling around can resume with a better evaluation of the results Silk forming a bead made me stop and think about damage to neckties, but yeah...

That's why it is never a good idea for eyeglass wearers to clean their glasses with the ends of their neckties, you'll have scratched up lenses in no time!

DFTowel- Heh heh, yeah, it seems like a lot of people don't worry any more about marring their lenses than they do about marring the paint on their cars Life's just full of vulnerable surfaces.
