what 'cha using to wash your vehicle?

currently I'm using a 100% sheepskin wash mit. Did get some grease on it though, and if it won't wash out I'll be looking for something to replace it with.

For the last year I really think the sheepskin wash mit is doing a fantastic job !!

I think OEM is the best look. I just don't happen to think any of the various arrangements of OEM got it exactly right all at once

I'm not really sure, but from what I've read since the sheepskin (kinda weird as its not really "skin") is all natural and supposed to be softer than man made.

To clean our cars, i use meguiars gold class wash, a 5 gallon bucket with a grit gaurd on the bottom and a "microfiber" wash mit. I have used sponges before, but they seem to catch too often on the car.

Actually the eurow (sp) sheepskin mits from walmart are pretty good. Sometimes you have to sort threw them to find the best quality. $5 each.
