Anyone use Eagle One Surface Prep Mitt?
I was watching this Hot Rod Garage video on youtube
It's the first time I heard about the Surface prep mitt. It replaces a clay bar and looks a lot easier to use. Anyone have any experience with this? Before I go out and spend $25 I'd like to know if it works or if there is something similar that's works better for about the same price.

I have not used the Eagle One mitt, but I have and use the Nanoskin Autoscrub Washmit all the time. The eagle one is a cheap knockoff of the Nanoskin, and I have heard that they do not hold up very well. I also recall someone saying that you can't use the Eagle One Mitt during your wash process, while you can with the Nanoskin. I would highly recommend the Nanoskin if you can afford the extra cost as it is a far better product.

I've used the Eagle One mitt & it works great. 1/2 the price of the nanoskin from Autogeek & just as easy. Using detailer spray, it took me about 30 minutes to do the whole car- way easier on the shoulders than clay barring it & as far as I'm concerned, identical results. I don't know how long the glove will hold up but I've used it on 2 cars & it shows 0 sign of wear & tear.

For the hobbyist the Eagle one mitt may be just fine, however if you use this a lot your better spending the extra money on the Nanoskin. My understanding is that you can not use the Eagle One mitt during your wash process, where I follow up my washes with the Nanoskin mitt which saves me a good bit of time. I can go around the car in 5-10 minutes with just using my wash bucket and shampoo that I had just used.
This was the car I just did this past weekend.

Not looking to pick an argument but you can't substantiate what you just alleged w/out a direct comparo between the 2 mitts.
For the $$, the Eagle One mitt works fine. If you're satisfied w/the performance of the Nanoskin, that's swell too.

I don't see how the Nanoskin saves time since you still have to use a liquid of some type along with the mitt after you wash your car. I don't see how you are saving any steps. I'd rather use the mitt with a clean detailer spray then a bucket of my old wash that is left over.

Like I said the Eagle One should work just fine for the consumer, but for someone who is going to use it a lot such as myself it simply will not last.
Jesse, do it a few hundred times and you will see how it is saving time. Also if you are washing you car properly using the 2 bucket method your wash bucket should not have any dirt in it. It is all in proper technique.
