I just bought a MF mitt from autopia. mixed feelings
First, the pictures.

The der wunder mf mitt feels softer than wool, and feels like it will pull more **** off the finish since it is microfiber, but man it has almost no nap.
The wool mitt OTOH has alot of nap, almost a full penny.
I am going to try the MF mitt tomarrow and will post my feelings on it then.

buy the brush............
use the 2 bucket approach or put a strainer in your one big bucket....
and if you decide it's not to your liking....i'll buy it from you....for say 15$ off....
mine is now nearly 20 years old......18 actually and i could use a replacement.....
de brush is sublime
so now it is only a 15 dollar "try it" item...
besides if you're shopping griots'......they do have a pretty liberal return policy..but i will buy it from you....
but get the model with a long screw-in handle...not the shorty version...i like the long handle model....

stay with the mitts, I myself was not impressed with the brush
I tried one not so long ago and to be honest with you I feel like I missed more with the brish and also no matter how cautious you are you dont want to make 1 dumb mistake and hit a mirror with the broom

That's exactly what I would do...
I was brushing snow off the side window on the Honda...accidentally tapped the mirror with the corner of the ice scraper that's affixed to the top of the brush. *crack* *mutherfooker*

I have the Sonus MF....
it's not too bad. I use it most of the time. I have a lambs wool one from DP and like it too. Just watch for road tar or any gunk that can get on the MF as it is hard to get off.
