    to using a noodle yet.???

    I've bought 2 a good while back and I think I prefer them.

    reading on detailing world I thought I would give them the CD test and they didn't mark it but my LW mitt did.

    Thinking about giving the zymol sponge ago.

    Not goy one yet but both my Lamb and MF mits will be needing changed soon.

    I usually demote the car body one down to wheel one then the old wheel one goes in the bin.
    I still keep an old school devils sponge but it is only for cleaning under wheel arches.

    Not sure about a Zymol sponge, they are expensive and I just cant bring my self to use a sponge on the paintwork.

    Sounds like you need to buy the ShMitt a black one for your wheels and the white/yellow for the car.

    I bought a wheel schmitt.

    It does a decent job but do you not find it awful big to get between the spokes of the wheels?

    Oh yeah..... and... What's a Noodle? Other than the obvious.

    Deerslayer, Honda paint is very thin from what I have found. My mate has a PTG and I went over my Mums new shape CRV and they were all pretty low readings.

    No my mate has one and I got a shot of it. Its not a super fancy one though. You can get a standard one for about £150 though which I really should get.
