there are several ways to prevent fine scratches from washing, but it more so has to do with technique then with the mitt. A good quality mitt will feel soft when wet, maybe go with a chenille or microfiber mitt (lambs wool works well too.) You can use a sea sponge, but they can scratch because they sometimes dont let loose all the sand from the sea.

But technique has alot to do with it too. You can use a two bucket wash method, which uses one bucket to rinse the mitt while the other is clean wash water and soap. Or you can still use a single bucket method while using something called a grit guard.

You can also use this in your 2 bucket method too, and it will help with rebel dirt particles.

Honda had fun designing the window visors for the Japanese Legend. It wasnt to be installed without injury. They absolutely wanted you to destroy your finger tips.
