Anyone try cheese cloth? Just curious on how you find it, seeing how this guy`s frame of reference might be a tad off.

<span style=`font-size: 12px;`>LOL I used cheese once, never again.

I think I have seen them in Target. It has holes in it, hence the name cheese cloth. Why the holes I don`t know? It was kind of rubbery feeling if its the same one I seen.

The reason it`s called cheese cloth - because in ye olden days, people used it to strain milk and make cheese and yogurt.



I know it used to be an old-school detailing trick that a friend of my family used to use - because it does get wax off a surface pretty quick. Of course - like any terry cloth - there are levels of abrasivity (if that`s a word) - and I`m sure that cheaper cheese cloth would do a number to your paint.



If I`m not mistaken, they sell it in auto parts stores as well, in the body repair areas, next to the Bondo and stuff.

I used this stuff about 20 years ago on my Gran Torino with a product called `Car Skin` followed by Blue Coral Wax. I can`t remember how it worked but today I use it for applying wax on wood - the cloth holds wax in the `pores/holes` so ii holds more product than normal cloth.

I found it creates swirls and is a lot harsher than cotton or microfiber towels. It also doesn`t seem to pick up wax as well. Kind of smears it around. STAY AWAY!

I still have an unopend TW cheese cloth package. It is a plastic bag. Not sure when or how I got it but I have it.



Not sure what to do with it. But the package is pillow like soft.



Any ideas??:nixweiss

1) When you make a stock, line your strainer with a few sheets of cheese cloth and when you strain your stock it will be nice and clear.



2) You can make your own "sour creme" from low-fat yogurt by placing some in a strainer with cheese cloth, placiing it over a glass bowl, and setting it in the fridge over night. It really works pretty good, and it`s better than the fat-free stuff by far.



3) Place any spices for a soup or stock that you want to remove prior to serving (bay leaves, fresh thyme or rosemary, pepper corns, etc.) in a little tied-up cheese cloth. Makes it easy to remove later.



4) When you sand furniture, use some cheese cloth to remove the finest dust (final wipe-down).



How`s that?

Thanks Cyber!

use it on wheels perhaps?



or string it up on halloween as spider webs

Cheesecloth is used to clean aircraft windows. they are sort of a plastic. Its used with a polish. This polish will not work well on glass.

I used it untill I discovered Klasse and microfiber. It really works well at removing wax. It traps the wax dust inside so you don`t get it everywhere. It was about a five or six foot tube of this material. I liked it because I was something I could use with both hands.



It would get dirty pretty fast and you can forget about washing it. Wash it once and it will only be good for wheels the rest of its life. Fortunatly they aren`t expensive but if you go through 2 or 3 a month then they can get a little pricey.



Overall a good idea but I did notice that it added some swirls. Only once it was getting old though. It was pretty effective most of the time. I`d never go back to it, though, now that I`ve discovered microfiber.

Got megs 205 for pc7424xp whats is most popular around this forum when using the pc? got some black cars to wax and want to remove swirls too--thnx

[Todd@RUPES]

M205 has the ability to remove some swirl marks/correction, so it is a good swilr remover in most cases. If you need more correction you could consider Meguiar`s M105. M105 is only as aggressive as you need it to be.

If your looking for a more traditional swirl remover then I would consider Menzerna Super Intensive Polish.

:iagree:Very good advise from Todd.
