I bought this mitt mainly for cleaning hubcapped steelies and wheel wells as I wanted something comfortable, fast and effective. Well, this being a glove, it fits the bill perfectly. It holds plenty of soap, it cleans well, it's comfortable, it's durable so it can take a beating on those nasty wheels and wheel wells and it rinses pretty easily with the hose. You could also clean alloys with these but I would pair it with an EZ Detail Brush for cleaning the barrels. Definitely recommended.
