Are they any good? Ive been told they are better than a sponge as they remove dirt instead of just moving it around?

Anyone used one? If so was it worth buying it?

I've got one. Does wash the car decent, but it's hard not to feel like a cunt. Used mine once and never again.

I've got a Turtlewax microfibre noodle and it's excellent. My street's quite quiet so I feel like less of a cunt.

I got one from Rich on here - lovely lambswool one. Do feel like a pillock using it though, and it takes forever to fully dry out

In general they're better yes, although only really work better with 2 bucket method as it drains all the crap out of it that it pulls away from the surface.

I don't wear mine though I just hold it, and tbh don't care what people think

I wet mine, put the soap stuff onto the glove and work it neat onto the body of the pre-jetwashed car.

Am I doing it all wrong?

Gets no bad results like!!

I've been using them for years, and never once have i felt like a fanny for wearing it like a glove. You guys must be really insecure

I always wear mine. They keep your hand warmer than a sponge does, plus it reduced the risk of dropping it.
