Buying some car care products.

I use and like the Dodo Juice Dodo Clay & Born Slippy Duo.

+1 from a CCP recommendation. Had never clayed a car before and with this combo it was easy as hell. Great result and the spray smells fruity lol.

Because they're not a chamois with elastic fibres.
They're a waffle weave microfibre and wringing them will just damage them as the fibres are not designed to stretch.
Once you're done, you just hang them up and air dry them.

I wring the crap out of it a couple times while drying the car, I'm sure it will be fine?

Traditional Chamois were a small and easy to manage size (say around 30cm x 40cm). It didn't need to be large because they could be wringed out repeatedly.

However, the entire reason they make these multiple different sized waffle weave drying towels, including "extra large" sizes, is because you're not supposed to wring them out. This is why we end up having to "manage" cloths of 90cm x 60cm and even larger, where for the majority of the work they're folded into 1/8th etc just so they are managable.

So in other words... "wring at your own risk" hehe

It is amzing how much cr@p the clay pulls off the paint. I clayed my Golf not long after I bought it, after 1 1/2 years of minimal maintenance by the previous owner I was shocked at how much cr@p came off.

The back half of the roof took three passes to get it smooth.

Mmmmm, fruity.

Blah! If and when it "dies", I'll just buy another one.

Yeah I've only done the Polo (CW) so far and even places that looked clean, had the clay coming back with crap on it.

Just an update on the auto rite berry tyre gel.
Works beautifully. Lasts for a good while (although we've had soMe ****ty weather lately) and doesn't fling.
Overall very happy with it. Only qualm I'd have is that it does take more effort than a spray can :p and I like them fairly shiny so two or three coats are needed. Otherwise would happily recommend the product to anyone!
