Pad or mitt - Page 2

You need another option for me as I use a brush!

Not any old brush mind you but a Griot's Boars' Hair Brush.

Until you've used one you won't appreciate how good they are. Expensive, yes, but the least marring of any wash media I have ever used. Any dirt particles go up the soft flagged bristles in use and release when dunked in the wash bucket.

Pad, well Microfiber Madness Incredisponge or Incredipad, for me. I've never got on with mitts much prefer something I can grip.

Definitely a mitt for me, I feel like you put uneven pressure onto the paint at the points of your thumbs and fingers where you are gripping the pad tightly.

Pad for me. Been using the Klin microfibre mitt and its excellent

Always used mitts, but changed to a Dooka Osha pad 6 months ago and will never use a mitt again, find it much easier to work with a pad easier to rinse as you don't need to take it off to rinse it properly

Easy solution, don't grip the pad tightly then

Seriously though, you don't need to employ the old death grip with a good pad, no more pressure is required than with a mitt.

Mitt but just got a dooka pad to try.

Unbranded versions but still look very good quality at a lower price

This is true but then I feel like I'm going to drop it
