I never thought about that.

Thanks for the information!

I also use the two bucket system with a sheepskin mit.

I use either a cotton chenille mitt or a plush microfiber mitt with the 2 bucket system. I use the MF mitt for very light washing, but switch to the cotton chenille if there is more substantial dirt.

I raid WalMart whenever I can go for their Eurow sheepskin mitts at $5 :bigups

Well, I guess I`m in the minority. I use a grout sponge. I find mitts don`t wash out as well, leaving small debris in the long, thick nap. I also like to use a sponge because I like to cut them up in a smaller size. I do this for my rims or hard to reach areas. Mitts don`t seem to hold up very well if you cut them.

wal-mart sheepskin "Eurow" - in my opinion just piece of junk. I bought one it lasted me one car, than it started to lint and all that "sheepskin" not anymore looking like sheepskin.
I am looking for something better now.
Just my .02

I have a Eurow mitt I got back in August or so, has seen regular washing, no linting or anything:dunno

Just my .02 Interesting. The one I bought last year lasted all season and probably will be OK for this season as well. Probably was used three times a week to wash a vehicle, rinsed and hung up to dry.
Why do I like it? Holds lots of soapy water, doesn`t mar the finish, rinses clean when done, priced right, readily available. (Ususally).
FWIW, I was in our Super Wal*Mart today and they didn`t have any of the sheepskin mitts on display. They did have lots of new brushes though. I think they might have been Black Magic brand.
Also, still no Meguiar`s NXT products at our Wal*Mart yet. I don`t need any, I just thought it strange that they didn`t have it available by now.

Same here, no problems at all. They have a 5 pack at costco by the same manufacturer for about $6. They are not the same as the ones at wal-mart though, they have scrubbers on one side.
