Meguiar's wash mitt?

Has anyone had experience with the Meguiar's "Ultra Plush Wash Mitt #X-3010?
It is most likely a synthetic, but I don't really think Meguiar's is going to put their name on something that would be bad for paint.

This one.

Dwayne, do you have these available?

Charles, I looked at that one at the local auto parts store. I do believe it is synthetic, as nowhere on the packaging did it state that it was natural sheepskin/lambswool or anything. Also, FWIW, I didn't think it was all that "plush" either. I like the other sheepskin mitts I have found better.

Edit: Also, form what I can remember, the inside of the mitt is not "skin" like with a genuine sheepskin mitt. Almost forgot I wanted to state that. :)
 
I got this recently, yes it's synthetic and not that plush eventhough it says Ultra Plush wash mitt. It holds a lot of water and glides easily. What I don't like about it is that it traps dirt and holds on to it :nono a big no no. Even when I hosed it directly with water, the dirt was still intact, I just don't have the patient to hand pick those dirt that got stuck, this mitt reminds me of ont other synthetic wash mitt that I have.

I don't think I'll ever go back to synthetic wash mitt from now on, it's sheepskin all the way ;) (I hope Dwayne will carry sheepskin mitt again...I guess demand for SM Arnold sheepskin was pretty low...cos it lasts that damn long :lol )
 
:bigups Thanks for the replies.
That's what makes this hobby so interesting. :)
One wondering, one questioning the quaility, one not happy with it, one happy with it. :D
For right now I guess I will continue with my sheepskin mitts.

FWIW, I'm using S&W for most of my washes recently and a mitt will probably last a long time when not used.

Looks like a good buy for wheel wells and the likes of that, but I have to agree if that was natrual wool they would have stated it on the label...

I don't think there is any question that it is a synthetic material. Meguiar's catalog does list a "Lamb's Wool" wash mitt for the sheepskin buyers. I was mostly curious if a synthetic mitt would work as good as the sheepskin. Synthetic materials don't necessarily mean bad materials. Look at MF towels and sealants.

I picked it up off the rack at autozone and the as stated above the plushness is not there.
