It's a full "glove" style microfiber wash mitt. It allows me full range of motion with my fingers. I can just wrap my hand easily around each spoke and scrub it (including the back) and it allows me to use a single finger to get into that groove that goes around the entire rim. I can also get a finger in between my lug nuts and the wheel in that area for a good clean. My wheels are now washed in less time and I get them more clean. I'm happy, especially for the $7 or $8 the mitt cost me.

And although this is slightly off-topic: I started using P21S when I got my 1LE and after I finished a bottle I switched over to Sonax ... never going back. Sonax does a significantly better job, it is worth the money to me.
That is a very nice find

You might be able to get away with this at first, but eventually, you might get that first scratch from say a sand stone, then you will move on to a hose down first

I noticed the same thing on my 1LE mags, the insides are not FULLY covered, almost looks like overspray in some areas. It's not that bad or an eyesore in any way, but when you closely inspect it, it's there. Maybe others can chime in on this.
