What kind of wash mitt do you use?

I'm curious to see what kind of wash mitt people use. Please take the poll.

Personally, I use sheepskin. Some people (ahem, you know who you are) tell me that this method is terrible. I feel that it works great, does not harm the paint, and gets the job done.

I use sheepskin. I'd continue to use it if it were white - that's the only reason I'm looking around at chenille mitts.

Question

A question on those Viking cotton wash mitts.

Are they sewn over a sponge and how thick is the nap?

Could someone please tell me how a sheepskin wash mitt supposedley damages your car. I've never heard of that before. I always thought it was the most gentle mitt you could get.

Ok.. being that i desperately need to place an order from CMA soon (as soon as the discount code is sent) what mitt should i buy? I have the MF washmitt from CMA which i really really like.. and use on the paint, and use a Viking wash pad which i got at Wal-mart for the lower panels which attract a lot of dirt, and another one for the roof..

What should i buy?

Should i get another MF wash mitt (large or smaller one?)
A sea sponge?
a Sheepskin mitt?
Cotton chenille wash mitt/pad?

It only allowed me to vote for one, so I didn't vote at all. I use 3 kinds wash mitts- microfiber, chenile, and sheepskin. They all work great if used appropriately on the right surfaces and conditions.
