Best wash mit?

Maybe not the right forum, but I knew you guys would have the answer. What is the best wash kit out there? I have had one from Chemical Guys and it fell apart quickly. What is a good one that will last?

The Rag company, this is a very good wash mitt for the money, soft to minimize scratches (car wash quality soap is a significant factor on reducing scratch) and quite durable mine last me for about 2 years after before it fell apart but for $12 bucks is not bad, the key thing is to hand wash wash it thoroughly with cold water to rid of the car wash soap, and let it air dry.

Thank you for the suggestion. I figured there would be good advice on here since you all probably wash as much as me. I have a carbon black.

This is what I use, looks pretty similar though, but more expensive. Not sure how they compare.

That's the Chemical Guys one I first bought...got two of them. One split at the seam on the first use. The other is holding together but the inner white part has torn. Seems like it's of marginal quality. I hope to find a really good one that performs well and lasts.

That sucks, have mine close to 2 years now with no issues, bad batch perhaps.

Weird. I have had it for over 2 years now and it is holding up good.

I have 4 of these and they have been great, tough to recommend something else, for the cost.

I had a few of the CG chenille ones but they tend to start falling apart after a bit.

Adams hands down. Been using for 8 years. Get the Wookie it is solid. Then you will buy all the products and become addicted like me. It is the best on the market.

I've tried them all, and keep coming back to a yellow car wash sponge. I use the one from Detailer's Domain.

"Best" is subjective but here is my vote after trying many others:
