Paint-Safe Washing
A mitt that keeps your clear coat clear
The Storm Wash Mitt's dense microfibre pile traps dirt and grit inside the fibres rather than dragging them across the paint surface. The result is a contact wash that cleans thoroughly without introducing the swirl marks that cheaper mitts leave behind.
Why the Storm Mitt
Every feature earns its place
Purpose-built for detailers who care what they drag across their paint.
-
Scratch-Free Pile
Dense, delicate microfibre lifts grit away from the clear coat rather than grinding it in.
-
High Absorbency
Loads a generous amount of shampoo and water, releasing it evenly across the panel on each pass.
-
Large Wash Face
The 22 x 18 cm surface area covers panels faster and reduces total strokes per vehicle.
-
Secure Elastic Cuff
Stays firmly on your hand through every stroke, even when working fast on wet, soapy bodywork.
How does it compare?
Storm Wash Mitt vs a typical cheaper wash mitt
Not all wash mitts treat your paint the same way. Here is an honest look at where the Storm Wash Mitt stands out and where a decent budget alternative keeps up just fine.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Paint-safe microfibre pile that traps grit away from the clear coat | Yes | No |
| Large 22 x 18 cm washing face to cover more panel per stroke | Yes | No |
| Elastic cuff for a secure, non-slip fit during use | Yes | Yes |
| High absorbency - loads shampoo well and rinses clean easily | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for use on ceramic-coated or freshly corrected paintwork | Yes | No |
| Available in a variety of colours or styles | No | Yes |
Built for Speed
Cover more panel, spend less time washing
At 22 x 18 cm and 115 g, the Storm Mitt is large enough to wash a full door in a few strokes and light enough that your hand does not fatigue through a full detail. The elastic cuff locks it in place so you stay focused on the panel, not on keeping the glove on your hand.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to wash the Storm Mitt before using it for the first time?
Yes. Work Stuff recommends washing the mitt before first use. This opens up the microfibre pile, removes any manufacturing residue and gets the fibres to their full absorbency before they touch your paintwork.
Is the Storm Mitt safe on freshly corrected or ceramic-coated paint?
Absolutely. The dense, delicate microfibre pile is designed to be paint-safe, making it a solid choice for panels that have been corrected or coated. The key is always pairing it with a clean two-bucket method so you are not dragging grit across the surface.
What surfaces can I use it on?
The Storm Mitt is primarily designed for painted bodywork, but the soft microfibre is also gentle enough for glass and plastic trim. Avoid using it on heavily soiled wheels or wheel arches where abrasive fallout could be transferred back to painted panels.
How does the 22 x 18 cm size help during a wash?
A larger washing face means fewer strokes per panel. You cover a door, bonnet or roof in noticeably fewer passes compared to a compact mitt, which speeds up the wash stage and reduces the number of times you need to reload the mitt with shampoo.
Does the elastic cuff fit larger hands?
The elastic cuff is designed to stretch and hold securely across a range of hand sizes without cutting off circulation. It keeps the mitt from slipping off mid-stroke, which is especially useful when working quickly on wet, soapy panels.
What shampoo works best with the Storm Mitt?
Any quality pH-neutral car shampoo works well. If you are washing a coated vehicle, stick to a shampoo that is free of waxes or sealants so you do not contaminate the coating. High-lubricity shampoos will make the mitt glide even more smoothly across the paint.
How do I clean and care for the mitt after use?
Rinse the mitt thoroughly after each use to flush out trapped grit and shampoo residue. Machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a microfibre-safe detergent, no fabric softener. Fabric softener coats the fibres and reduces absorbency over time. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Can I use the Storm Mitt with a foam lance or snow foam pre-wash?
Yes. The Storm Mitt is used in the contact wash stage that follows your pre-wash or snow foam step. Once you have rinsed the bulk of the contamination off with foam, the mitt handles the final wash safely. Never skip the pre-rinse and go straight to the mitt on a heavily soiled car.
