    I have used a meguires towel, yellow in colour which i find better than a chamois, but recently i bought a sponge and a mitten which has approx 1" long chenel type fibers hanging (they comer in various colours) fom it, and that is excellent at drying off the car. Found in Halfords or Homebase i had mine from.

    I know I thought that when I had to pay you a visit earlier in the year for the fuel clip. Hoping to be seeing you soon for the up grade.

    Have always used a Chamois rather than a microfibre cloth however given all the comments on here - guess it's time for a change

    Me too, always had three buckets and wash the car from top to bottom with the wheels last and with a second hand cloth. The 3rd bucket is the chamois one.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.

    two bucket method, one clean one dirty, wheels first for me, but use brushes and cloths just for the wheels, certain microfibres for glass, certain ones for body work, older ones for wheels, polishing exhausts, just goes on and on
