I don't know how good of quality it is, but the one I got from Oreilly's a long time ago has held up quite well...i just use it to clean the wheels though b/c i'm afraid it will put swirls in the paint.
The two I'm using currently have held up for ~6 months without significant shedding yet, the last two I was using before that began shedding after ~3 months, and I've moved those to the wheels, so they've lasted ~9 months, but definetly show wear/shedding at this point. I have no problems paying $5/mitt every 3-6 months for new mitts anyways, so I'll continue to hand pick the ones at walmart. I also remove the elastic banding at the base to further prevent scratching of the paint

I bought 2 mits for $17 each and they lasted 2-3 washes each so $34 for 1 month of washes which is more than I'm willing to spend. I

hmm...well I live in NW Ark. aka wal-mart land so I'll def. have to stop by and get some, but the ulti-mits are also on their way so I guess we'll see which I like better.

IMO, MF, especially cloths, are some of the worse car washing choices out there because they don't shed dirt well at all, I can hardly get them clean from machine washing, let alone in a bucket with dilute car wash solution

I agree with redlude on this one. MF Wash mitts do not touch my paint. I stick to sheepskin wash mitts and now have a place for the Lake Country Ulti-Mit, an alternative to the Edge SchMITT.
