The quality of sheepskin mitts range from horrific to phenomenal and price isn`t always a good indicator. Some people only purchase them in person at local stores to ensure they are getting a good quality, whereas others have found reliable online sources. I`m looking to hear which online sources you trust, so post a link to the mitt you would entrust on the first car wash of a new black super car (say an enzo, carrera gt, lambo, etc...)...

I`ve got nothing but good things to say about the sheepskins from Excel.

Same here. I have four of them. One super heavy weight, one medium weight and two light weight.

Lots of people do. Based on some other data I`ve been collecting about people`s favrite products (see my sig), Excel`s mitts are the ones to get.

if you`re in a pinch and need one right away, the eurow sheepskin mitts can be found at wal-mart for around $5, but make sure to feel all the ones they have as they differ in plushness (pick them like fruit, if they aren`t up to your expectations... walk away). target also has the vroom sheepskin mitts as well, as some on here have had good experiences with them. i personally use th sm arnold sheepskin mitts that i get from the local detailing store...

i have one that i used for more than 2 years and it`s held up with no problems, as well as some of their other products. Viking has some very good detailing products that rival or are better than competition out there today... :up

1000% agree. People really under rate them because they are an OTC product. I do believe that the ones that I got were $7.99 each. Being that I do not "bucket wash" in the winter they usually last me 1-2 seasons then they are retired to wheel well and tire / rim duty.

I`ve had nothing but good luck from the eurow sheepskin from Wal-Mart. At $5.00 ea I would bet I have at least 10 of them and after washing a panel or two I`ll throw that mitt in the dirty bucket and get a new mitt. But like the post said earlier you should pick through what they have on the shelf and oh yeah I undo the stiching for the elastic cuff and toss it. Just my $0.02.
