Sheepskin Wash Mitt (Best place to buy in UK)

Where do people buy from in the UK? I'm after best quality not best price although both together would be nice.
Anyone tried Performance Motorcare's versions?

The only UK ones I have used is the Halfords grey ones, two have been good one a bit hard. Go through the rack in the shop to find the best.

Andy C has a supplier I think?

I like the Eurow ones from Autopia/ Pakshak myself these days.

I know you wanted to find out about UK mitts, but I thought I should give www.detailersparadise.com a mention - I've been using their thumbless sheepskin wash mitts for quite some time and they're by far the best quality mitt that I've used. Shipping is reasonable aswell (cost price, no handling charge).

Thx for the info guys I've ordered a 2 pack from here, actually 11 quid but look good value anyway.
I'll have a crack at the Eurow ones when they arrive.
