Recommendation for OTC wash mitt

I'm looking for a good quality/non-marring wash mitt that I can get locally. I have available to me Advanced Auto Parts, Autozone, etc. Thanks in advance.

I use a Simoniz brand microfiber mitt - I paid $10 for it here in Canada. It works great!

a lamb's wool mitt appears to be the choice of many enthusiasts. i know i do prefer those over a microfiber one, although i have gravitated to using MF mitts on lower body panels and wheels. i haven't tried a boar's hair brush but some people swear to that as well as it is claimed that it can release dirt even better. if you can't source these locally, many places offer them online. good luck! :w00t:

use 2 mitts and 2 buckets. 1 for body, 1 for wheels. I use a lambs wool for the body and an older used mitt for the wheels. Even though I rinse the mitt used on the wheels thoroughly, the thought of possibly running brake dust (small metallic fillings) over the paint is not too pretty....but that's me.

The Eurow wash mitts are pretty good if you can find one. The only problem is that after 10 or so washes mine would all go bad.

I have always used a Lambs wool mitt myself but I have noticed more and m ore companies are saying the microfiber mitts are getting better. I am going to try one of those on my new car.

High quality, not to expensive and you get two. As they say, one for the "clean dirty" part of the car and one for the "dirty diry" part of the car.
