Sunday morning, alarm set for 06:30.
Up, showered, lots of tea, then out to do the car as soon as the ice on the windscreen melted.
Am I a bit weird waking up actually looking forward to trying out a new wash pad? I’m not even a detailer, more of an anti-detailer.
Anyway, because nobody asked or cares I decided I’d do a mini review of the Microfiber Madness pad.
After using wash mitts for many many years (that I never put my hand into, I use them more as a cloth/pad) it does take a bit of familiarisation moving to a spongy pad as the mitt is super flexible for doing things like windscreen wiper blades and squeezing into the gap between Clubsport spoiler and top of hatch. But the pad does squish down enough to perform said tasks.
The pad is a decent enough size to grip and fits quite nicely into a Clubsport tailpipe (bless OPF’s for keeping the soot at bay) and cleans the oversized honeycomb bumper grille of a mk8 well (small brushes would still be needed to do earlier generation GTI honeycomb)
I still used a mitt and hogs arse hair brush to do the fiddly jobs like hinges but the pad coped well with everything else on the bodywork.
Am I disappointed after my early morning excited anticipation? Absolutely not. The reverse in fact.
Was this the most pointless thing I’ve ever written? Most likely absolutely so!
…thanks for the suggestion Will, it took care of an Amazon voucher I had for Xmas and I’m quite impressed with the little fluffy fella
