Looking to buy a chamois for drying

Hi
Can you guys recommend a good quality chamois to dry my car?
Thanks!

Why chamois instead of a microfiber towel?

why not get a quality waffle weave or microfiber drying towel?

I already have waffle weave and ultra soft MF towels but I still see water spots and unable to have a completely fine looking dry car. Am I doing anything wrong while drying? Currently I do drying in 2 steps.. I use MF towels in step 1. and then use waffle weave in step 2. but still not able to get the car to a completely dry condition. There are always tiny water spots sitting.

Sounds like a layer of protection is in order.

What he said

A ww will suck up the water on a waxed/sealed surface without leaving anything behind.

before drying, try taking the hose and use the flood method and that will eliminate a majority of the water. when drying, no need to rush and wipe quickly, let the towels absorb the water. use the waffle weave on the first pass, then follow up with the microfiber towel for the second (if needed) pass. if you don't have any protection on the vehicle, the water tends to drag and is harder to wipe off, as opposed to having some which will make drying easier...

no chamois. Those things are horrible. Stick to Micro's

and if you have any tiny water spots left... use a quick detailer, it will add shine and protection.

Or even a electric blower to dry your car. They are selling them cheap these days just watch for a sale

i use the leaf blower / MFWW drying system, works great.

Plus when you drive the car you shouldn't get the water drip streaks
