RaceGlaze or GTechniq WM1 Wash Mitt?

Nacho98 · Aug 27, 2011

I know the RaceGlaze gets rave reviews and is probably better known/more popular, but I also know the color bleeds pretty bad for several washes which to me is kind of like WTF for a high-end wash mitt. The GTechniq is the same price, and also gets great reviews, though I've seen a report of it shedding a bit much. Both are popular enough that they are often sold out.

Which would you go for and why? Any reason you did/would choose one over the other?

Well, I couldn't find the GTechniq anywhere, as it's sold out everywhere in the US, so I went with the RaceGlaze...hopefully it won't bleed too much. Amazon only had 4 left, and it's hard to find elsewhere as well.

Please report back on it if you don't mind. I'm looking to replace my mitt in the near future and was considering this.

I got the new CG Merino wool mitt and I am very impressed.... and this is coming from someone who usually hates mitts and only uses sponges.

The merino wool is VERY soft. I will find out when CG is gonna have it up on the website.

Will do, I was kind of disappointed I couldn't get the GTechniq, and I'm quite surprised a mitt that bleeds so much can get such high reviews, but we will see. I don't know what color I'm getting, I bet they will send me the crappy green one, which is like the only color I don't want lol. I know other places let you choose/ask, but I got mine off Amazon and didn't have the choice, plus they only had 4 left anyway.

I'm kinda pissed, I ordered that mitt on Saturday morning (early) and the damn thing still hasn't shipped. Just emailed the seller, DetailBest.
