do you guys use a chamois??????????
« on: 21 August 2008, 21:00 »
as above please, I bought a autoglym chamois, but find it is a little dirty however much I rinse it, I have read people use a sort of drying towel, but does this replace a chamois?
many thanks

waffle weave drying towel is what you want - much better than chamois

Yep, another vote for the Sonus one's here, much better than the megs water magnet towels.

You can find them a couple of quid cheaper on ebay.

Not sure if you need to but I wash mine on a delicate quick wash with just a small bit of detergent and no fabric softener after each use.
