Default Nick's new product received!

and thanks for the added bonus!

Real nice job on the packaging! Great boutique look. I was tempted to wash my hair with it.

Cant wait to try it soon, but doubt the weather here is gonna give me a break anytime soon, but hope springs eternal.

btw- Can I machine wash the sheepskin mitt or is that a no-no?

Default I machine wash my sheepskin mit all the time, with micro-restore

Its probably had about 25 washes and is still in like new condition, the only downside was that the wrist strap is all stretched out now.


I used to use regular detergent but micro-restore gets ALL of the dirt out.

Default Tough call on the mitt

Some people wash them and they stay soft even after they are dry. Other people have had them fall apart after a single run through the machine. I let mine air dry and they get rigid, then they soften up again in the soapy water.

About the Mystique, did you notice how it changes color in the light? Completly pointless, but it looks cool.

Default I had only 1 wash mit fall apart in the wash and it was a Eurow mit

but in there defense I have bought another 20 more or less and this has not happened. I usually let them air dry also and your right they do get rigid, as for washing I use some liqued All

Default I wash my mitts as well....

Good mitts will survive just fine. Mine have been washed probably twice a month (at least)for a year or more and are fine.

I spin them in the washer, then air dry.

Default my Detailer's Choice mitt has been washed probably 5 times, no problems.

I don't wash it every time I wash the car, but usually every few times if I remember or it gets dirty. Usually in the summer I'm washing frequently enough that the car is not filthy.
