The euro sheepskin mitts from Walmart are great, search through them to pick the good ones. They are among my favorites.

I have only used the 100% cotton Viking mitt (not chenille) for many years, and I find them at O`Reilly parts stores.

+1 for the grout sponge! I ended up buying a pack of 6. Won`t look back to going with Eurow sheepskin mitts anymore.

[wannafbody]

I really like the Viking MF mitt from either Kmart of autozone- I put my sheepskin mitt out to pasture

I used to get a great TW brand chenille wash mitt at Wally`s. They no longer seem to have them. I do find them at Pepboi every now and then for twice the price. Very durable, a personal favorite.

If you have any Big Lots near you, you may want to consider the Meguiars Ultra Plush Wash Mitt or the Meguiars Chenille. I don`t know whether money is an issue for you, because these are very cheap ($3-4). If you don`t care so much about cost, you can consider using the Walmart Eurow wash mitts (haven`t been able to find them near me) or the Vikings from Kmart (don`t have any kmarts near me :))

Yep Viking/Mothers/Sonus sheepskin for me. They make good cotton chenille as well but the sheepskin rinses through much better.



Sponges scare me to death. Too much psi against the surface of the car(tough on wax and can be on paint), they don`t rinse well and the risk of debris getting caught up in it is risky.

I use the Euro Sheepskin from WalWhore. Only gripe is that sometims you get a bad one and they`ll fall apart in the wash. I always let mine air dry. Also, you really need to feel each one, as they are all a little different. Try and get a thick pile one as they work a lot better.



I picked up a Cobra MF mitt for use on my garage queens, I really like it better as it removes dirt a lot better, but its also a bit of a pain if you get something stuck in it while washing (mf holds onto things).
