  • Need suggestions for a new wash mitt

    I'm looking to buy a new wash mitt and wanted to hear some opinions on what they prefer. I've always liked a quality sheepskin mitt personally, but just ran across this new product called ShMITT. Anyone tried this yet? Who has the nicest sheepskin mitt? I haven't had much luck with the new Meguiar's mitts, so I'm going to stay away from them.

    I've only used sheepskin mitts. I bought my first mitt from work(NAPA). My cost was $7 and I used it couple times and really liked it. So I bought two more from Walmart for under $5 thinking they were the same. The similarities stop at the cuff. The one I got at work seemed to be of better quality. I will be using the two from walmart for below the belt.

      Any chance you could post or PM the brand name of the mitt you preferred?
      Or maybe all NAPA stores carry the same products. If you sort through the Wal*Mart mitts, I have had good luck with them. They may all be the same brand, but they defintely aren't all the same. Makes sense, the sheep probably wrent all the same either.

        I was thinking the same thing about it being hit or miss. They are both manufactured in China. But I'll buy another one when I go back to work on tuesday. They are sealed in a plastic bag and more than likely it just says...Manufactured for Balkamp or something of that nature. Anyways, I'll keep you posted.

        Also, bear in mind, I bought the mitt without the slightest clue of anything. Just knew that it was better than the swirl inducing mitt I was used to. Is there a difference between lambs wool and sheepskin? If there is, that might be the difference I noticed. I think the packaging said lambs wool mitt.

                I use a Simoniz premium sheepskin mitt & love it! I haven't tried anything else other than a sponge. I don't think Megs makes a sheepskin mitt? There's a poll somewhere on here about different wash mits & natural sheepskin type mitts were on top.

                Cheers

                    I use: MF mitt, MF covered sponge and regular sponges. I've read on another forum about the SchMitt - that's next on my shopping list!
