Re: Looking to buy a chamois for drying

We use Water Sprites at work! Micro Fibre and Waffel Weave are great for drying cars, but when they get wet you have to get another one. We dont have a large supply of mf towels, or a way to wash and dry them. We use Water Sprites because you simply wet and use , and rinse often . We may do 50 cars a day.

There are always tiny water spots sitting.
Then I doubt a chamois will solve the problem, as that was my primary gripe back when I was using them. IME chamois (both natural and synthetic) *always* leave a fair amount of water behind.

For that matter, so do most plush MFs I've used. And WWs do tend to become less effective in this regard over time/use.

Sounds like rejuvenating/replacing your current MF drying towels is in order.

Huh, my Water Sprite left the same tiny bit of residual water that my other such drying media always left behind Not much, but some...it *was* a bit better than my Water Bandit.

Re: Looking to buy a chamois for drying

Water Sprites are good for quantity but not quality... but probably the best chamois you can buy... still wouldn't use one on my car though. lol

Sounds to me like you need more WWs... or different ones... not all WWs were created equal... I have found the best ones ever, but its a secret what it is. haha!
