Gold Plush Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt, microfiber chenille wash mitt (http://www.autogeek.net/gold-plush-wash-mitt.html)
Picked up 2 of these last sale and want to say I love it..
I had one of those bone shaped sponges and it didn't hold up well when I went deep into the grit guard bucket..it seemed that I was scratching my knuckles instead of getting the dirt off the sponge...
Now I just spread out my fingers and the mitt hits the bottom with no problems..
Also , you can do a panel and then spin the mitt to the other side and do another panel..
Very effective and fast...

Wait until you get your hands on the INCREDIMITT, then you'll really be singing!

Sea sponge is still my go-to wash tool, especially for darker colored vehicles.
A lot of people will use a sea sponge for the upper portions of their vehicle and the micro chenille wash mitts for the lower body panels.

I like the gtechniq wash mitt that has the lambs hair fibers, however, it is expensive

In my opinion, Chenille is fine unless you are working on a black vehicle.
Merino wool wash mitt, auto wash mitt, sheepskin wash mitt (http://www.autogeek.net/carpro-wool-wash-mitt.html)
I have two of the Carpro and use them two at a time to speed up the wash process on my Yukon. Especially helps with the roof; I throw two mitts up on the roof....hop up on a tire and knock out half of the roof at a time.
Some have suggested that these wool mitts can be machine washed. I did it half a dozen times and noticed that the mitt seemed to loose some volume, which is only noticeable when compared side-by-side and wet.
I now hand wash them out with Dawn in the sink.
The gtechniq wash mitt ($25)appears to be the same as the Carpro Wool Wash Mitt from AutoGeek ($20)

Am I the only one that hates the micro chenille wash mitts? They are heavy, can't get in tight spaces, and don't hold many suds. I also feel like they don't rub across the paint smoothly.
I like my Meg's MF mitt.

Not possible, not sold here.
I am glad to see that Microfiber Madness finally has a firm foot across the pond :dblthumb2:
But, as much as I like the Incredimitt, I still prefer CarPro's merino!

I use both sides of the mitt all the time to lessen the amount of times I have to use the rinse bucket. When starting a new mitt I always turn it inside out to cut off the white fabric. Not sure if my hand is just too large but I have difficulty turning it when its there. I'm careful cutting just the white fabric, not any of the mitt.
