Anyone use a rotating brush with jet-wash?
If you do, have you found it to be better than the sponge etc?
I have just bought a jet-wash but was thinking about getting a rotating brush accessory for it.

Personally, nothing touches my paint but very good microfober or pure american cotton cloth.
I don't know what the rotating brush is made of but it sounds scary to me.

I would avoid brushes and sponges. Brushes will scratch and sponges have no knap to pull in dirt. Any dirt trapped in a sponge will rub against your paint causing scratches.
If you're interested, see the article on proper washing in the 'Detailing 101' sticky. |

As for MF mitts, I'm not sold on them because they have very short fibres (no knap to pull dirt into) and can do as much damage as a sponge. |

The first two mitts look very nice. The one I have is very similar to the second one on this page:
