The long fibres draw loosened dirt into the mitt instead of dragging it across the surface, which lowers the risk of wash marks with a careful technique.

A comfortable elasticated cuff keeps it on your hand and gives better control around curves, grilles and other detailed areas. It suits paintwork, glass and exterior trim, it is washable and reusable, and the white cuff carries the embroidered Better Car Care logo.

Expert Notes

The Better Wash Mitt is the Better Car Care contact wash mitt. Its thick, plush microfibre pile holds a lot of shampoo solution and the long fibres draw loosened dirt into the mitt rather than dragging it across the paint, which is what lowers the risk of wash marks. The elasticated cuff keeps it on your hand and gives good control around grilles and curves. Rinse the car first, load the mitt with Better Suds, wash in straight overlapping passes from the top down and rinse it in a clean water bucket after every panel. Keep a separate mitt for wheels. It is washable and reusable, so look after it.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Glass
  • Exterior trim
  • Ceramic coated cars
  • Wrapped cars
  • Grilles and curves

Caution: Rinse it in a clean water bucket after every panel, and keep a separate mitt for wheels and lower sills.

The Brand

Better Car Care

Better Car Care is a British car care brand run by Better Car Care Ltd from Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, with the motto Better products. Better results. Its range is short and covers every stage of a proper wash, from pre-wash and snow foam to shampoo, wheels, decontamination, drying and finishing, plus a wash mitt and a drying towel. The chemicals come in 1 litre and 5 litre bottles, most of them concentrates, and many are made in the UK. You will know the bottles by the black 8 ball logo with a B on it.

Each product has its own name: Suds is the shampoo, Ripper the citrus pre-wash, Thickness the snow foam and Versatility the all purpose cleaner, while Reaction removes iron fallout, BetTAR shifts tar and glue, Dressed does the tyres and Gloss is the quick detailer. The Lie Detector drying towel has a white side that shows any dirt your wash missed.

We stock the Better Car Care range online and in our Ilkeston shop. Good places to start are Suds car shampoo, Thickness snow foam and the Lie Detector drying towel.

Better Car Care 5 litre range: rinse aid, APC, snow foam, pre-wash, wheel cleaner and shampoo

The Better Car Care range, stage by stage

Pre-wash. Ripper is a non-caustic citrus pre-wash, diluted up to 1:10 in a pump sprayer, for road dirt, bird droppings and bugs, and it doubles as an interior pre-spray. Thickness is a thick, high cling alkaline snow foam that loosens traffic film and grime before you touch the paint.

Wash. Suds is a highly concentrated pH neutral shampoo used at 1:600 to 1:800. It is kind to wax, sealants and ceramic coatings and safe on wraps and PPF. Use it with the plush Better Wash Mitt, whose long pile draws dirt away from the paint.

Wheels and decontamination. The wheel cleaner (Better Wheels) is a non-acid concentrate used from 1:3 to 1:15. Reaction is a pH neutral, colour changing iron fallout remover for paint and wheels, used neat or 1:1, and BetTAR is a ready to use solvent tar and glue remover.

Dry, finish and protect. The rinse aid (Better Drying) makes rinse water sheet off the bodywork and adds gloss and protection, the Lie Detector towel dries the rest, Gloss is a hydrophobic spray and wipe quick detailer, and the tyre and trim dressing (Better Dressed) gives tyres and rubber a deep sheen. Versatility, the all purpose cleaner, covers engine bays, door shuts, trim and carpets.

Shop by type: snow foam, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, iron and fallout removers, quick detailers and drying towels.

Our Better Car Care wash routine

Starting from scratch? This is the wash we recommend with the Better Car Care range:

  1. Spray Ripper, diluted up to 1:10, on the lower panels, front and mirrors, let it work without drying, then rinse.
  2. Foam the car with Thickness, leave it a few minutes, then rinse from the top down.
  3. Clean the wheels with the wheel cleaner at 1:9, agitating with a soft wheel brush.
  4. Wash with Suds at 1:600 to 1:800 and the Better Wash Mitt, using two buckets with grit guards.
  5. Spray on the rinse aid, rinse it off, and dry with the Lie Detector towel, white side first.
  6. Finish with Gloss on the paint and Dressed on the tyres.

Every few months, or before a polish, decontaminate after the wash with Reaction for iron fallout and BetTAR for tar spots, then protect the paint again. Work on a cool car out of direct sunlight and never let any product dry on the paint. The tyre dressing and the tar remover are flammable, so use them outdoors, away from heat.
