    After about 2 weeks of waiting including shipping and backorders, I finally received my order from Autowerkes Exclusive. 4 Gold CCS applicators and 2 Raceglaze wash mitts.

    Here's a snapshot of what came.

    Now, on to the Raceglaze mitts. I am extremely impressed with them so far. They are SO soft and seem to be really well built. I received a black mitt, which I will be using on my own vehicle, and a mocha/tan mitt that I'll be using on customers' cars.

    The black one of course being my favorite.

    The construction quality of these things really amazes me. The cuffs are like a soft nylon material, and the insides are amazing. They seem to be built out of some wetsuit type material, which seems pretty durable and is very comfortable. I was concerned about these slipping off of my hands during the wash stage, but they seem to keep place rather well.

    Here's the interior of the tan mitt.

    Now for the big thank you to Ken, the man who made it all possible.

    I have been a complete pain in the ass these past weeks, badgering Ken about what colors were available, when the shipment would be coming, and every other question under the sun. I'm becoming really particular when it comes to products nowadays, thinking more is less. Ken answered every one of these questions in depth in PM's, text's, and even a personal phone call.

    Included in the order was a sample packet of Duragloss 901 Car Wash Concentrate, which I really plan on testing as I gave my packet away from the last order. Also included was a sample packet of Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I'm pretty excited to try these two products out and possibly add them to my lineup if they perform up to spec. I love freebies.


    If business continues like this, I'll be a customer as long as I can lift a wash mitt. I haven't gotten a chance to really test these products yet, but I have very high expectations. Thanks again Ken! :applause:

    Indeed. His call caught me off guard and I was mumbling like an idiot. I introduced myself as Ken. Can you see how excited I was to get these mitts? :crasy:



    The pile on these mitts is about an inch or less, I don't think it'd be much of an issue. I'd rather have something caught in the fibers than rubbed across the paint.

    The RG are nice, but it won't be as soft and fluffy after you use it as when new.

    Well if they are anything remotely close to how they just performed, I'll keep using them. That was the slickest wash I've ever done.

    After it dries it isn't as soft and fluffy, but when you dip it in your wash bucket it softens up. I still like it compared to other wash medias.

    Been using mine for close on a year and it's still pretty soft and fluffy. I have found if I leave it out to dry for too long it goes a bit stiff but if i pack it away just before it's bone dry it stays pretty supple and fluffy :thumb:
