  • The Best Chamois on the Market?

    the best chamois on the market... I want it!

    But I don't know which one is the best.

    Any recommendations? I'm willing to spend up to $50 for a real top notch chamois.

    Happy to buy online too.

    Cheers
    Michael

    I would consider buying a waffel weave drying cloth over a chamios.

    Most chamios are made from leather and they have a higher chance of putting scrathes and swirls marks into you paintwork.

            Definitely go with the waffle-weave microfibre over a chamois. I've got the Mint one from CCP and it works a treat...the cheap one I picked up from Supercheap Auto actually wasn't too bad either.

            After using them I ended up throwing my old chamois in the bin.

              Chamois are good if you like micro-scratches & swirls.

              Waffle weave drying cloth FTW!

                Have to agree I have recently started using waffle weave towels and can dry the entire Superb with one (but have three just in case). I would rather an extra thick ordinary one that i could just pat the car down as opposed to having to wipe the towel across the paint (read VERY lightly).
