Well I snapped a few pictures, which clearly show the grooves opened up to allowing the dirt a place to go. My only complaint about the Ulti-mitt is that the black backing holds too much suds making it difficult to rinse out. But as I've said before, the new double sided mitt should prevent that.
While at it, I brought out the shmitt to show why I don't like using it -- there is minimal contact area which makes it difficult to completely clean a panel. The second picture of the shmitt is after apply
a lot of pressure, which gets a panel completely clean yet dirt has no place to go and has a great chance of marring. Plus, the shmitt simply does not last long. Granted mine isn't a good example, I have abused it (darn Harley engines), but before that it would tear effortlessly on a badge or nib on a headlight. The glue has held up but now has been relegated to bike duty. All of this is simply my opinion and should be treated as such. The pictures should tell the story though so here they are:
