Post What do you use to wash your car?

I have been using a lamb-fur mitt for about six months and I just would like to know what other people use.

I have found that the lamb works very well, the only thing is how dirt and grease build up into the mitt. Every couple of washes I would cut the grease ***** out and wash the mitt but I think it is time for a new one.

Should I pick up another mitt or are there any better washing devices out there?

Thumbs up

I have had very good luck with the Viking 100% cotton wash mitts, many people on this board use them as well.

Another vote for the 100% cotton Viking... Works great, no scratches or spider-webs.
