Default Microfibre chenille wash mitt

Have anyone of you used this. I bought one from a local Target the other day, and was wondering how it compares to sheepskin wash mitts.

For those of you who haven't seen these, it's not a microfiber wash mitt. Rather, it's like a chenille wash mitt, but the individual "brushes" are made of microfiber. Here's the only picture I was able to find of it:


The one I bought was orange though.

Any thoughts?

weird- i thought that chenille was a type of cotton...
so dont see how it can be both!
looking forward to your review- pay attention to how it releases dirt. does the dirt get trapped in the threads? (not so good)
or is it released easily when you put it in the bucket.

i like sheepskin cause it unloads dirt nicely. mitts that do not unload the dirt can cause swirls (the dirt particles cause that).

Keep a close eye and any signs of scratching abandon ship!

I actually bought one of these from walmart . They stink. First time I used it it pulled on a fender and now I have a 5" hanger from the mitt. It also left streaks since it doesn't flow well over the paint. Go sheepskin. Luckily I tried it out on my beater first. Not worth the money. I'll only use it in my fenderwells now.

OK, I guess it's back to sheepskin then...

Yup I've tried that orange chenile/micro wash mitt from target... it has no where near the dirt releasing characteristic of sheepskin =p. I used it for a while to just clean my wheels, but now I use a dedicated wheel face brush.
