Recommend me a good wash mitt?
I was wondering where can I get a good wash mitt online as I was considering getting any from detailedimage or chemicalguys? And I've been hearing debates between microfiber and sheepskin wash mitts, what's the difference? Definitely need some suggestions on which one to buy, something that doesn't scratch!.
In addition, what about drying towels? Should I go with the microfiber waffle weave? or regular mf drying towels? And where can I get the best of those? Thanks. |

I have this one (from another supplier)
I really love this thing! Just make sure you dry it out somehow after use or it gets funky http://www.autogeek.net/supernatural-wash-mitt.html |

I really like the waffle weave MF for drying
As for the mitts, I use the "Viking 100% Cotton Chenille Wash Mitt", and seems to be pretty gentle on the paint (I bought off Amazon). To better safegaurd your paint, consider using the "two bucket/mitt method" if you don't already. Two great sites I've bought supllies from are detailedimage.com autogeek.net Check around on here and e46fanatics.com for discounts

Chemical Guys has the Schmitt mitt on sale right now, Wacky One Day deals. Good mitt, 2 different sides for different uses and price is great.
I have that one, a couple of chenille/MF units and a couple of regular old OTC mitts. I use the Schmitt the most except for wheels which I always the OTC ones. Make sure you use the proper technique as that's more important than the wash media. |

I have this one, and it is excellent at washing the vehicle. However, I don't know the durability, since after handwashing them twice, the fibers are starting to come apart. |
