Dptm Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 Hi This question may sound kind of foolish, but would like to find out do bros here uses dry towel to dry the car or wet and wring the towel first to dry the car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 hee... wet. no particular reason, but dun you think its only reasonable, cos you dun have so many towels... and even if u use dry towel at the start, somewhere along the drying, you'll still have to wring ur towel dry cos its wet now? wet also because after ur wash-off (assuming u use pail water), you might have soap residue.

Michel Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 u can always use newspaper... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 Serious? Not just on glass you mean? On the rest of the car too? No marks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 U gotta wet the newspaper a bit... Or after a rainy day, when the car is wet, you can wipe it with a slightly damn newspaper followed by a dry one to totally clean it.. I did it on my glass and the body....so far so good. Best if you do it with care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Neutral Newbie August 25, 2003 Share August 25, 2003 Alternatively, i use old windscreen wiper to wipe of all the excess water from the body and the glass before using cloth to dry the car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dptm Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Author Share August 26, 2003 noticed that a wet towel (wring dry) will leave trails of fine droplets of water... a dry one of course will not but it's the same once it gets damp... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toybabe Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 Use a chamois, I loved Autoglym's, it really dries your car with no watermarks but remember to wet it first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etnt Turbocharged August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 Try the Aion Plas Chamois, its even more effective than autoglym's at drying the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavvy Clutched August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 You have to squeeze it dry of course... wipe as fast as possible.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toybabe Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 Oh where did u get it from? How much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 I use a variety of cloths... cotton t-shirt for initial wash, incl tyres. chamois for drying and wiping off water stains. ecowipes for windows and interior (dash-board n seats). ex-face towel for spreading polish/wax another cotton t-shirt for wiping the polish/wax off. At end of the day, I have at least 5 pc of damp cloths in the boot. Of course must wash clean, else will have a funny smell. But the damp cloth is good when you just want to wipe off dirt and re-clean the windows. Chamois is by far the best material I've ever used. But as Toybabe put it, it's got to be wet, else you'd be scrubbing the paintwork off. just my sharing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etnt Turbocharged August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 Can't remember the price exactly, but i've seen them at from ACE, Autobacs, Stamford (Lok Yang). Got mine from Carrefour, but they changes their brand of chamois often, and its only available in regular size there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
