What Is the Mitt on a Stick PRO Plus?

Key Features

Heavy-Duty Build

The PRO Plus version features a more rigid aluminum handle and industrial-strength pivot head, built to withstand constant use and heavier pressure during washdowns.

Premium Microfiber Mitt Head

Soft, paint-safe, and absorbent—ideal for safely washing ceramic-coated or delicate finishes. Easily removable and machine washable.

Telescoping Handle (Up to 62”)

Reaches over tall truck cabs, box vans, and trailer sides without needing a ladder.

Pivoting Head for Contour Contact

Allows the mitt to stay flush with vertical, horizontal, and curved panels. Smooth movement reduces fatigue and increases wash efficiency.

Velcro-Backed Mounting Plate

Allows fast and secure attachment of mitt heads. Mitts stay in place during aggressive washing.

PRO Plus vs. Standard Mitt on a Stick

How to Use the Mitt on a Stick PRO Plus

Step 1: Saturate the Mitt

Soak the microfiber head in your wash bucket or foam solution (like Old Glory or Stars + Stripes Step 2).

Step 2: Adjust Your Handle

Extend the handle to your desired length and lock it in place. Longer for sides and roofs; shorter for more control up close.

Step 3: Wash Top to Bottom

Begin at the highest point and work your way down. Let the mitt glide across the surface—don’t force pressure.

Step 4: Rinse Frequently

Rinse the mitt often to prevent swirl marks and contamination buildup.

Step 5: Follow With Drying or Protection

Rinse the surface thoroughly and follow with a drying towel or a product like Awesome Sauce for added shine and protection.

💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Results

• Use separate mitts for upper and lower panels to avoid cross-contamination.
• For heavily soiled or oxidized vehicles, pre-foam or degrease first with Heavy Duty or Liquid-X.
• Pair with a grit guard bucket or foam system for the safest contact washing.
• Always wash mitts separately from other towels—avoid fabric softener and high heat.

Maintenance & Storage

• Machine wash mitt heads with mild detergent (no bleach or softeners).
• Hang or air dry both the handle and mitt to avoid mildew or corrosion.
• Replacement mitts and heads are available and easy to install.
