| Currently, I use sheepskin mitts. I believe they are synthetic, but it says "genuine Austrailian sheepskin" on the package. It cost me $8 for 3 from Costco, and are exactly the same as Top of the Line's, which is $7.50. (http://www.topoftheline.com/lamwoolshamm.html) It looks and feels pretty plush when dry, but the nap seems to be bunched up together when too wet.
Not the best mitt in the world, but considering the price and availability, it's fine for me. It doesn't scratch the black paint of my 325i if used very carefully.
I would recommend Tim's or CMA's Chenile wash pads which many people like.
