What is the best chamois to dry the car?

What`s a chamois?









jK

No seriously use microfiber, what ever towel you used must not have been quality, get your towels from here you can`t go wrong

Forget chamois...

Masterblaster, California water blade and a good set of high gm microfiber.

Personal tastes I reckon. I used natural Chamois for many years.
There is a break in period, where you have to first get the Cod Liver Oil out of them. And they stink for a good while too. During that period, I note they do leave a film on the paint.

Then there`s a period after break in where I found they work OK. Then they near the end of their life, they begin to fall apart, and get as hard as a piece of Bacala (salt dried Cod)

Because of this somewhat limited time frame-life they have, many times I had hoped for something better to come along.

That product was the Water Sprite fake Chamois.

I used to buy them years ago, from a Wax Factory, and I really liked them.
After the Wax Factory shut down, I had then seen the "Absorber" come to market.
Thinking it was the same, I bought two.

I used them a few times, didn`t like them, still have them sitting in the shed, in their little tubes. Junk I thought. Same with the `Cham-Wow", another towel that missed the mark IMO.

Last year, I bought another Water Sprite, from either AG, or here, and it was like coming home.

Yes, MF is good, but I still personally like the Water Sprite about the best. I simply just throw it over a horizontal body panel, and draw it towards me, using no pressure on the towel.

So funny because I bought 2 water sprite and hated them and never use them.I think the absorbers work 100 xbetter .

I notice the absorbers dont work as well in the beginning and take a while to break them in.

We should trade .

My Absorbers have been regulated to boat and jetski duty. I now use my Metro Blaster and a Guzzler. Nothing else needed.

I appreciate the recommendations to use MF products, however, I did not have a great experience with MF - I found that the tight weave of the MF trapped and held onto dirt, I didn`t like having to launder them separately from other materials and the towel was actually more expensive than chamois. So I decided to go back to a natural chamois which has always delivered great results. If it ain`t broke don`t fix it. I understand MF is popular but am looking for a good leather chamois brand only. Thanks.

Just bringing up your quote to stop people from trying to make you change!

Hope you find a good one.

I guess he would rather have the dirt sit on top of his chamois and scratch his paint.

so I`ll stay out of it

Forget drying... De-ionizer

Hes entitled to his opinion .Leave the man alone!

Got quiet in here.

Certainly, these are sort of age old arguments, Like what Amplifier is better, McIntosh, Krell, Mark Levinson, ARC, MBL, Gryphon, etc etc.

Now, if I owned a Bentley, Ferarri 458 Italia, you can probably best believe I`d change my washing, and drying ways pronto.

What would I go to? Only God, and you folks would know, but no doubt if I had the cars I mention above in my Garage, I`d probably be looking at some good aids, like the Master Blaster, and maybe a few bikini clad cuties to help! LOL

FACT - THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN & DRY A CAR IS BY THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL CONTACT. Thus, either Air power or changing the waters actual drying properties are/will always be the best way.

Is that a request or a demand?

[ca.detailchick]

Is that a request or a demand?

Neither . A warning.

As well as the finish on my car sheets water, a blower would be a waste of money. I think my towel collected a teaspoon last drying. The towel gathers more Hyrdo than water.

I used to use the vac n blo, but by the time I get it hooked up, the few drops have dried.

We work hard at getting the car to sheet and then run out and buy a $300 blower to remove the remaining tablespoon of water.
