kind of off-topic but you guys got any recommendations for good garage shelves/cabinets that aren't going to make me go broke but at the same time are pretty high quality and don't break?

I need to organize my stuff.

- do you guys prefer/recommend washing with foam sponges or sheepskin (the fuzzy wool type) mits?

- do you guys prefer/recommend applying swirl mark polish with foam applicators or those cotton applicators?

Most people prefer sheepskins, I myself just use Shmitts now. Also you should use a terry cloth cotton applicator with the a polish to remove swirls.

I'm using the LC ulti-mit and ulti-mit ultra b/c I went through a lot of sheepskin mits that all started 'shredding' after only a few weeks. these have lasted quite a bit of time and passed the scratch test on CDs

^I use my "budget" foam cannon. It produces a somewhat adequate amount of foam but I more or less use it for getting the soap on the car in the pre rinse. Only $15 at Crappy Tire.
