Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 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).
