GTechniq WM1 Merino vs RaceGlaze Deep Pile Natural

Which would you say is the better / safer mitt. They are both around the same price. I would like to here what you guys have to say on this one. I was first leaning on the Raceglaze because I though I was the best, but now that I have seen the GTechniq WM1 I am on the fence on this one. I will be using one of these mitts for weekly washes on my Mustang Gt that I am about to apply Cquartz to. I currently have a Detailed Image sheepskin mitt and a Mothers sheepskin mitt. Both work great and are soft, but I want to have the best mitt possible, not sure if there is a big difference from mitt to mitt since they are animal fur and not synthetic fibers, but if its possible to get a better quality one I defiantly want it. Not sure if it possible to get a poll going for this?



GTechniq WM1 Merino $24.95




RaceGlaze Deep Pile Natural $22.25

 

anyone?:shead:

 

never used the gtechniq one but the raceglaze one is amazing.

 

I'll see if I can get a hold of a WM1 to try out (since I also need to buy a RG one soon anyways), I have already sent an email to see if i can grab ones

 

Thanks I appreciate it. Do you know of anywhere else I can order it in the states besides Pakshak, thats if I do end up going with the WM1?

 

nope, but across on my side of the border maybe soon(tm)! Its really down to whether pakshak charges an arm and leg or not that'll determine if getting from our side is cheaper than your side lol.
but yeah I'll keep you updated on whether I'll be able to get my hands on one or not.

 

Sounds good thanks man.

 

To me it looks like the Gtechniq wash mitt will be the better of the two. I ordered a RG wash mitt recently and to be honest did not see what was so good about it. I have another sheepskin wash mitt (much cheaper) which is softer than the RG and has got a deeper pile.

 

GREAT NEWS! (like James May style)
I'll be able to get my hands on one of the Gtechniq washmitts as its gonna be available Danny

 

which one? if you don't mine me asking
because I have a few DI sheepskin ones, and the two that I've used less than 10 times each are nowhere near as soft as the new one that I haven't used
and I've noticed some wash marring on my soft MINI clearcoat and single stage miata paint so I'm looking for something better

 

May I ask from whom? Ken!?

 

nope I got Troy to carry it =p

 

I have both, but keep reaching for the GTechniq more often. Pakshak just got in a new shipment of mitts.

 

So you're saying GTechniq over RG?

 

They are both great mitts, but the GTech is a little softer.

 

as legacy99 said, raceglaze is great but gtechniq is even better. its a little softer and the pile is a little denser.
pakshak has been carrying these for a bit now. i used my raceglaze many times and its still feeling really nice. better than my terrible dodo juice mitts. i also love how gtechniq comes in only white because when my dark brown raceglaze mitt was new i had a hard time seeing if it was dirty. raceglaze offers light colors but they are much harder to come by. i bought 2 gtechniq and 1 raceglaze and i dont think ill be needing another one for a long time. both are extremely high quality inside and out

 

Sold! Thank you very much I just hope it lasts a long time.

 

Thanks for all your help Legacy99 and kyoshiro its much appreciated looks like ill be going with the GTechniq WM1

 

I don't use mitts at all anymore since buying a solid black car

I use foam sponges and throw them out every couple months

 

which ones? zymol?
