Expert Notes

The Autobrite Direct Synthetic Wool Wash Mitt is a simple contact wash mitt made from synthetic wool, with a super soft, fluffy pile that glides over paintwork and an elasticated cuff that keeps it secure on the hand. It is one size, durable and easy to use and clean, which suits valeting and trade use as well as regular washes at home. Use it after a snow foam or pre-rinse, with a car shampoo, two buckets and grit guards, washing one or two panels at a time from the top down. Keep it for paintwork only and use separate tools for wheels and arches. Rinse it thoroughly after each wash and let it air dry before storing it.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car paintwork
  • Van bodywork
  • Exterior glass
  • Painted bumpers and panels
  • Two bucket washes
  • Valeting and trade washes

Caution: Keep this mitt for paintwork only, and use separate tools for wheels, tyres and arches so brake dust and grit stay off the paint.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Pre-rinse or snow foam the vehicle to remove loose grit first.
  2. Soak the mitt in your shampoo bucket so the wool pile is fully loaded.
  3. Slip it on and let the elasticated cuff hold it securely at the wrist.
  4. Wash from the top down, one or two panels at a time, with light pressure.
  5. Rinse the mitt in a clean water bucket with a grit guard after each panel or two.
  6. Leave the dirtiest lower sections until last.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Rinse the mitt thoroughly in clean water straight after washing.
  2. Squeeze out the water gently rather than wringing it hard.
  3. Follow any care label instructions if you choose to launder it.
  4. Let it air dry fully before storing.
  5. Store it in a clean, sealed bag or box away from dust and grit.

Top Tip: If the mitt is dropped on the ground, rinse it thoroughly before it touches the paintwork again.

Performance Benefits

  • Glides smoothly across the panels
  • Designed for safe contact washing
  • Stays secure on the hand
  • Easy to rinse clean after use

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes.
