Use these Microfiber Gloves for hands-on cleaning! A friend of mine is an orthopedic surgeon and a genuine car nut. I don't mean a superficial enthusiast who buys a Ferrari because he can afford it. I mean the kind of guy that drives a 28 year old Porsche and won't let anyone touch it. He changes the oil, tunes it, synchronizes the carburetors and has single handedly replaced the exhaust system and heat exchangers! I recently found him on one of his rare days off, wearing gloves, washing his car. He would spray one of the Porsche's wheels with cleaner, dip his hand in a bucket of soapy water and clean the wheel using his fingers to get into all the small openings and even around the air valve stem! At first I thought he was wearing some kind of surgical glove but it turned out to be a glove made of micro fiber! He threw me one and I tried it myself. There's no right or left and one size fits all. What a breeze! No brush. No sponge. Just good old fashioned hand washing! I could easily get into all the wheel's slot openings and, with a little massaging, remove baked on road grime and brake dust. Being micro fiber, there's no chance of scratching the wheel's clear coat finish. I tracked down the good doctor's glove supplier and here they are. These Microfiber Gloves are washable and reusable. The doctor tells me a pair lasts him about a year before he discards them.
