    I stick to Sheepskin simply because it seems to be the most effective for me. I've tried most of the options listed and some of them still leave the car pretty dirty. The Schmitt is one of them that didn't work out very well for me. It might do a very good job, but in order for me to feel comfortable that the car was clean, it would typically take 30% longer to wash the car. Time is money and I like to use whatever is going to be the fastest and most effective. Give me a good quality sheepskin wash mitt any day.

    Yeah, they are a bit on the pricey side. But I have read on another forum that a well made, well cared for BHB can last for years. So, in the long run hopefully it will be worth the cost.

    I use degreaser if I have to, if not it's straight to the tix degreaser, bug remover and wheel cleaner. High pressure hot water, then a creamy thich schampoo and a special sponge-probably synthetic. Rinse off with high pressure, top with Quickglozz which I work out on the paint with a wet sponge, rinse again and then it's a blade and synthetic skin. Since I live in Sweden the brands are different from what you guys use but I think you would dig the result.
