Off the wall, Sheepskinshop.co.uk Lambs wool wash mitts. 2 for £23. My detailer always is amazed at my wash routine because the car comes to him with minimal swirling, holograming or scratches.

Just thought I'd follow this up and say I went for the indredimitt from pb in the end!
Extremely impressed with it! Holds and creates a decent amount of suds and traps dirt well 👍

I've been using the ''Kent'' wash mitts the last couple of years with good results. For delivery of my new car I have just got an Autofinesse version.

I've just purchased one of these as my previous Merino wool wash mitt only lasted 6 months & started to fall apart :(

See what you think of them Rob, I went for a black one this time as part of the pair and the only criticism is the dye comes out of it so it tirns my normally red G-wash an orangey red colour in the bucket.

For 4quid there ok. Wash regular in the washing machine with my micro fibre cloths & no problems with them.

I use a Carpro wool mitt, fortunately it has lasted well as the initial cost was quite high. I carefully wash it after each use and let it dry naturally.

I can highly recommend the Lambs wool wash mitts from Sheepskinshop.co.uk I've had mine for ~20 months now & still looks as good as new with no signs of degradation or falling apart.
Unlike
my previous Merino wool wash mitt witch barely lasted six months before it started to fall apart. :(
