Griot's Garage Microfiber Wash Mitts (Set of 2, 10268)

The mitt is a single-pocket tube the hand slides into, with no separate thumb section. This lets the mitt rotate freely on the hand so you can change which face contacts the paint without re-gripping. Owners report it helps in tight recesses and around contours; a minority find the rotation awkward on first use, though most adjust quickly.

The Griot's mitt uses long twisted-tendril microfiber rather than chenille loops. Both constructions are paint-safe in proper two-bucket use; the twisted-tendril pile suspends grit in the strands rather than in loop volume, which some owners prefer for corrected and coated paint. Choose based on pile preference and cuff fit rather than paint-safety difference, as both construction types are confirmed safe in normal use.

Machine wash separately on cold or warm without fabric softener. Fabric softener permanently coats the microfiber and destroys both water retention and grit-trapping ability. Tumble dry low or air dry. A laundry filter bag during machine washing reduces microplastic fiber release into wastewater.

Use one mitt for paint surfaces and the other for lower panels or wheel arches only, following the color-coding. Do not use a mitt that has contacted wheel surfaces on paint. Brake dust, iron particles, and tar from wheels migrate to the mitt pile and will transfer to paint if the same mitt is used on both areas. A separate dedicated wheel mitt is the correct tool for wheel face cleaning.
