Hi.
I use the microfibre mitts as well as the cloths I don't always use the mitts or the cloths as in this weather I wash the car two times a week at least. Normally I do two washes with the pressure washer with a little TFR and the third one pressure wash first then use the mitt with a little shampoo then rinse, if it is dry then I go over the car with a dry mitt and that liquid spray that looks like water (forgot the name) that I get in lidl, this gives the car a glass like finish and is water repellent.
The mitt and cloths are washed after each use.
I have to say the car is scratch free bar one on the roof that was there when I got it, noticed it on the first wash I did, I'll probably get round to doing something about it this year if I remember.

Next time I'm in Irvine I'll get some cloths in B&M Jim.
