I've bought a few cheapies off eBay which work ok but have started to fall apart after only a few washes.
Can anyone recommend/link to any decent ones?


Cheers

I've pretty much always used the EuroW mitt, out of stock at the moment though.

I've used one of these for the last three years, only just starting to lose wool now. I'll get another as once they're back in stock.

More like £10. But yes this is the one I use, very good and hasn't fallen apart.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll pick one up in Halfords next time I'm there.

If you know someone with a Costco card they sell really good quality mitt's also hairy sponges and microfibre cloths.

Halfords lambswool mitt. Works well and lasts ages.

+1, does a good job and is a nice compact size so its easy to get into nooks and crannies.

Thanks to this thread, I've just ordered a Meguiars microfibre mitt and a Kent micro-fibre drying towel.

I didn't know the latter even existed until now.

Cheers. smile

I was after one of these recently, so I Googled it and came to a peer test done by some nerdy magazine. Turns out that an effort by Kent (probably more familiar to motorcyclists than drivers) came top. I Googled that and found that B 'n' Q do them at two for a fiver, so I bought a deuce and haven't looked back since. I'm no car wash mitt enthusiast, but they certainly seem to get st off the Jag without scratching the world's thinnest paint. For £2.50, how badly wrong can it go?

The Halfrauds one is actually sheepskin but another thumbs up from me.

Another vote for the Halfords sheepskin mit. Ive tried a few and its by far the best.

Megs one is good.
As is Dodo's Wookies Fist.
Dooka one is probably the best.
