Washing with Microfiber vs. Sheepskin...

Forgot to wash the sheepskin mitts after yesterdays clay, so I decided to just use a yellow Meg's microfiber towel for a quick wash prior to polishing today.



WOW, do these things hold a LOT of suddy water! Unlike my sheepskin, which seem to run out of water after one squeeze, I was able to squeeze soapy water out of these things at least 3 or 4 times. My looked like it had been hit with a really bad foam gun from long range hehe.



So, being sick of using sheepskins which break down, and not having a walmart around to get the euro sheep skin mitts, I'm considering purchasing some microfiber wash mitts instead.



I'm curious what your opinions are on this drastic, life altering change hehe. If you recommend going for the microfibers, what mitts would you suggest I go for?

IMO MF holds dirt too well. I prefer something that releases easier.



Then maybe Microfiber for quick washes on colors that don't mar easily and sheep skin for everything else?

+1...with a convetional wash sheepskin just rinses out so nicely that you know you have a clean mitt after every rinse.
 
The Bone MF sponge is an alternative/addition to sheepskin. Very soft, holds plenty of suds/water, releases dirt particles quite well (unlike reg MF) and washes out when done. Bot 2 of them from CMA this winter but just started using them this week. I use the Bone in conjunction with my Australian Sheepskin. I believe Autogeek also carries them.
