Well, look no further! I&#8217;m happy to say Detailed Image is now carrying the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/DI-Accessories-M12\/reTHICKulous-Wool-Wash-Mitt-P576\/\" target=\"_blank\">reThickulous Wool Wash Mitt<\/a>. There are many great wash mitts on the market today; however, this wash mitt is for those of us who demand the absolute best for our baby, or those who have very delicate paint. Previously, my go-to product was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/DI-Accessories-M12\/Sheepskin-Wash-Mitt-wno-thumb-P209\/\" target=\"_blank\">DI Sheepskin Wash Mitt<\/a>, and for most jobs it will remain so. However, the new reThickulous Mitt is the new favorite for my personal cars and high end client vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how the mitt looks when new:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6192\/6151364447_93ba96f021_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6194\/6151364511_0e2a7a4313_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>Note: In the below pics I had already used the mitt a few times and it wasn&#8217;t 100% dry either<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Here is a comparison next to the DI Sheepskin Mitt. As you can see this thing is soft and fluffy! \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6196\/6148874028_40526aef9b_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6063\/6148874122_2d30372a73_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is one with my hand next to both mitts:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6066\/6148322801_cd04358134_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both mitts have a nice elastic band for excellent grip on your wrist as well as a loop for hanging to dry:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6078\/6148322851_baeec3369e_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After dipping it into the bucked filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Optimum-OPT-M36\/Car-Wash-P284\/32-oz-S1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Optimum Car Wash<\/a>:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6157\/6148874382_d750c575d3_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing I find attractive about this new mitt is a strong resemblance to my Himalayan cat.

After that simply hang it to dry in a clean environment or place in an empty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/DI-Accessories-M12\/5-Gallon-Bucket-Pail-with-handle-P415\/\" target=\"_blank\">bucket<\/a> on top of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Grit-Guard-M25\/Grit-Guard-Insert-P119\/\" target=\"_blank\">grit guard<\/a>. If you&#8217;re OCD like me and want it to continue looking like new after each use, I picked up a great tip from my friend and fellow detailer, Corey (CEE DOG): after the mitt is dry, simply brush the mitt with a wire brush similar to the one in the picture below. On top of fluffing the fibers back up its also a great way to ensure any and all dirt is removed. After several uses mine still looks like new! \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6171\/6150231513_a01d1f0f2c_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In closing, this mitt is definitely awesome, but given the high price point, I don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s the best choice for cars that are very dirty and those that aren&#8217;t cared for on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this review and if you have any questions or comments please submit them in the comment box below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rasky gives us his thoughts on the new DI reTHICKulous Wool Wash Mitt, the softest and most plush wash mitt DI carries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":21059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,18,29],"tags":[721,831,777,829,246,830],"class_list":{"0":"post-5883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general-detailing","8":"category-product-reviews","9":"category-washing-drying","10":"tag-raskys-auto-detailing","11":"tag-soft","12":"tag-wash","13":"tag-wash-mitt","14":"tag-washing","15":"tag-wool"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Product-Review-DI-reTHICKulous-Wool-Wash-Mitt.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-1wT","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5883"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21061,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5883\/revisions\/21061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
