This mitt works very well, is pretty durable and is gentle on paint.
This is my favorite wash mitt, and I have bought 4 of them. Detailed Image may not like this, but I actually prefer this to my reTHICKulous wash mitt. I find the regular sheepskin wash mitt to be easier to use with a 5 gallon bucket and grit guards. The reTHICKulous wash mitt is so large that it makes it a little bit tricky to maneuver inside the bucket.
Bought two - there're awesome. Super soft, zero scratches. These have replaced the 3 microfiber mitts I had. This is THE mitt you want to use.
This is a reasonably priced product that is well worth the money. Easy on the paint, holds wash well and cleans up easily.
Up until recently I haven't been exposed to anything better than what is available at Walmart or local auto parts stores, and I must say this mitt is leaps and bounds ahead of what I have previously been using. Holds suds and just glides so nicely on the paint. I also notice it releases dirt, grit,and suds very easily which makes the thorough rinse afterwards very quick and easy.
Great wash mitt. This is my new primary wash medium. It is soft and gentle on the paint and works great to free up the dirt on the paint. Excellent!
As I've gotten more knowledgeable about caring for my car's appearance, I've learned the importance of softness when using products on my paint. So I bought this mitt to replace the microfiber mitt I originally bought, which has now been relegated to cleaning my wheels. The sheepskin mitt is softer than microfiber and holds a lot of water, which should reduce the likelihood of swirls.
Nice thick fluffy mitt that holds the suds well. I'm happy so far.
Just want to point out about the only no on the reviews is because of an inexperienced user not knowing how to prevent swirls probably with one or all of the following combination: Not using a APC to loosen up grit/ dirt to prevent hard scrubbing on painted surfaces, Not using the two bucket method/ with grit guards. Lamb wool is one of the safest materials to use on cars.

I have several wash mitts from DI and on one of my purchases I thought I would try the one without the thumb. It is the same in every other way I can fathom. It washes well, and holds up better than others I have purchased from auto parts stores. You lose the comfort of a thumb and a dollar off the price. I recommend it.
Bought two and love them. They're like stuffed animals out of the bag, but feel like wool as soon as they hit your wash bucket. They seem very gentle, hold a ton of liquid and suds, and are easy to clean. I love them. I definitely recommend them!
Love this Mitts. And, Detailed Image has a great price on them. One great thing about the mitts is that you don't have to wash and dry them. You rinse them clean, wring them, and then you can move to your next car detail. We run a mobile car detailing business in Kansas City so it is nice to not have to carry 15 mitts everyday. The whole KC Detailing crew loves them. Great product and an amazing price. Detailed image is by far our favorite website. The best products, amazing articles and resources, and great customer service.
Pretty good product for the price. I ordered 2 and could definitely tell a difference between the two items, both dry as well as wet. We'll see about the longevity of the mitt, but I'd most likely purchase again as you can't beat the price.
Excellent wash mitt. It felt luxurious against the paint of my BMW M3. Other 'sheepskin' mitts have sometimes yielded minute scratches despite using a two bucket wash method. This time after washing with the DI mitt, the paint was virtually swirl free. Highly recommended
Great product...much better quality than anything you'll find at your local AZ or AAP. Super soft/slimy when you're washing your ride. Rinse it off really well, wring and let it dry. Then turn it inside out and let it dry some more. I'll be getting another one soon I'm sure.
This is a great mitt. I prefer mitts without the thumbs and this one is great at a good price.
A staple. Great mitt. Buy a few when they're on sale, and there is no greater value. Works as advertised... a coupla' these, two buckets, and some good shampoo, and you'll smile throughout the wash. They're durable, but inexpensive enough that relegating a stained one to wheel wells won't hurt the wallet.
The sheepskin mitt is nice for sure. Very soft and does not leave any maring. If your washing a car that has not be well taken care of it will "stick" to the paint which is a bit annoying during the wash process. Other than that the only negative thing I can think of is that it leaves the little hairs around but not a big deal really. All in all great stuff.
Have been using sheepskin mitts for about a decade to wash my cars. I've tried sponges, pads, chenille cotton mitts, and many in between. Genuine sheepskin mitts remain the champion for a gentle, swirl-free wash. Detailed Image does a great job of picking them (yes, you should pick like fruit to find the softest ones) and I'm very pleased with their performance and durability.
Nice wash mitt. Much better quality than what I kind find locally in stores.
Bought this mitt back in September '09. I've used it a number of times, cared for it as directed, and happily have seen no scratches from use. However I do see a LOT of the mitt's fibers floating on the surface of the water in my rinse bucket. I've also seen fibers left on the car's paint during washing.
Nice quality wash mitt, that holds a lot of suds and water, and as far as I can tell traps dirt nicely. My first got a hole in less than a year from use, so I bought three more.
Great mitt! Better than the store bought stuff! Very soft and haven't noticed any extra marring or scratches with this mitt. Just wash the mitt with CG's Microfiber cleaning soap after each car wash so it stays clean and ready for the next car wash!

I purchased this wash mitt just to try a sheepskin mitt. After the inital wash I noticed very tightly packed micro marring, and I had only used the mitt on the hood, with CG Wash and Gloss. Light pressure left marks on a saffire black BMW. I wasn't pleased with this mitt.

I bought this over the one with the thumb b/c it was a little cheaper. After one use I couldn't be happier. It held soap very well and as the other post stated, rinsing is a breeze. The overall wash felt much safer than before. Great product and will buy more as needed for sure!

Totally awesome. Just used it today. Holds lots of suds, rinses easily, and is gentle on paint. Also leaves no fibers behind.

This is my new washing medium. I used m/f covered sponges before but once I tried this mitt I really liked it. It traps dirt well and washes out very easily, leaving no scratches in the paint. A+ from my experience!
