Yep. Used it on three cars yesterday. I was amazed at how well it works with ONR. I got them as a pair when Phil hooked me up so I've never used one without the other. So I don't know if I'm amazed at ORN or Schmitt.

I do two passes. Both very lightly. The Schmitt does seem to do a good job of releasing the dirt. All three cars were dirty and you couldn't see the Grit Guard 1/2 way through the wash. However, the ONR bucket was unaffected.

I have both single and cc paint and the washing has not yet introduced any swirls.

I've only used it about 10 times and it's starting to wear, so it's not likely to last more than a year of casual use. But they're cheap and best of all, they work well.

Yep and so do lots of other people.

I personally love them and dont use any other wash mitts or brushes, but everyone has their own personal prefrences. If you are on the fence with trying one, get one. They last long when taken care of, are fairly inexpensive, and work great.

I have been using them since they came out. I currently have five of them and have no intention of replacing them with anything else.

My only gripe is that with the older models, the front became seperates from the back, or it would start tearing. Became better as the new revisions came out. Been washing my truck with it since I polished it out over a year ago, still looks perfect.

Thumbs up to the white/yellow, black and (my newest addition) grout shmitt! Only started using them this year and the more I use 'em, the more I like 'em.
