Just curious. I've been using the ones that BMW dealer sells for several years now. I rinse it clean really well after each use and hang to air dry, I replace it every spring with a new one.

I use a $6 sheepskin wash mitt from Wal-Mart.

I use the ones from Costco.

Same. I use a $5 sheepskin wash mitt from Kragen Auto Parts.

Believe it or not, I was cruising through the auto section at...Walgreens... when I saw it. I genuine 100% lambskin mitt. Better than any I have seen anywhere. $6. I love it. Very plush.

I've used various lambswool mitts and been happy with all of the ones that felt very soft when I bought them.

One thing I didn't like about the wool mitts was the way they break down with age.

Recently I've switched to a microfiber mitt from www.properautocare.com I've been very happy with it so far.

I was concerned it wouldn't hold as much water and result in reduced sudsing action but it hasn't. I think it also does a better job of avoiding high pressure points by more evenly distributing the weith of the mitt and hand on the paint.

I'm sure you can get microfiber mitts many places, they might even be in stores soon as Meguiars has started carrying microfiber products.

so I guess a sponge is discouraged??

I use a sponge for the bumpers and below the side trim. The mit for the rest of the car.
