Big white fluffy one





I've been using Sonus Dur Wonder for the last few years; seems to do the job but I have looked at upgrading so I'm looking for suggestions too  :smiley:

No it hasnt, the first few times it would just about dry the car in one but now I need the two to do it ? I have washed (no fabric softner) and tumble dried them but no cigar ? I have been reading about soaking it in a mild solution of APC, degreaser or even white vinegar but I'm unsure what to do for the best ?

tumble drying may have killed it.
yes you can soak them in apc to get the crap out just make sure they are rinsed out well.

Thats interesting as I was told to tumble dry it every once and a while by the seller, I was told it "rejuvenates" them :undecided:
