where do you get these microfibre wash mits from?

I used to use the late night - early morning bandit technique at Carlovers, I`d take a sealed bucket with car wash, warm water and a mitt in it.

Now, I have rain water tanks installed at home. My reason to use Carlovers was water restrictions.

Okay so it didn`t rain, what to do?

I`ve got this hillbilly set up where the air con from my living room goes into a 20 litre plastic container, a thin one that doesn`t take up too much space in my piss poor carport.

Into this, I fitted a water feature pump, ran some hose from there up and along the ceiling of said car port and into my twin 1,000 litre tanks.

When you consider for a couple months of summer I can be putting 40 plus litres a day in there from my living room A/C ( 200 litres a week, no sh!t )

Once you start using a Karcher - Gerni or whatever you can not go back to an N/A garden hose.

Just to sum up, I use a Wool wash mitt now, its great. Chamois will scratch you car worse than a sponge in my opinion, I use those microfibre polish cloths to dry with.

Okay, I have a couple dearer ones for polishing with Autoglym super resin polish.

But I`ve got several rolls of those cheaper ones ( look the same to me ) bought from teh Warehouse, crazy who ever`s, to dry the car with.

More often not I find if the car comes up really nice with just a wash and dry with the microfibre cloths and no polish. I am prone to polish it for no real reason though, like most nutcases.

And if you have one like the 3.97 with the suds wash as well, dont forget to flush the line well after every wash. It cloggs up pretty easy.

And dilute the wash of choice heaps more than you would use in your bucket.

I find one cap to two liters of water does a car well. Then you are just using one bucket to rinse the Mitt.

All over rover in minutes.
