Default what is your favorite wash mitt?

Hey guys, just as the title says, what is your favorite wash mitt? Lately i've been using my microfiber chenille mitt. I feel that it cleans very well and releases debris pretty good also. I've used the shmitt all of last summer but i felt it was a bit too rough. The chenille wash mitt is really soft better than anything i've used before.

On my own vehicles I use the Zymol sponge, I don't mind using the shmitt's iether but I prefer the Zymol sponge.

These two are prity much my washing tools oh soon I'll be using one of those sea sponges, look forward on using it

Have you ever used a grout sponge? Can you compare it to the Zymol sponge?

Hey Nica. How do you like the Zymol sponge, and issues with marring? I've always used the Eurow mitts from Wal-Mart and always been happy. I thought the Zymol sponge looked pretty cool...

Eurow Sheepskin mitts or Viking sheepskin mitts (are they the same?) for traditional washes...I tried the whole grout sponge thing when it was big on Autopia and I marred the **** out of my car with ONR over the winter. Live and learn, I guess...

To be honest that's about all I use on my own vehicles, I have never had an issue with it indusing any micro marring or dirt getting stuck inside of it or anything like that. I'm very pleased with it, it has performed very well for me. But that's just my experiance with it.
