Toybabe Neutral Newbie November 20, 2003 Share November 20, 2003 Hi, I used Autoglym chamois, but its a bit ex abt $20 plus but it sucks up the water leaving no water marks. Those 3 piece for $1 better not some cloth may be too harsh that they might create swirlmarks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledosun Neutral Newbie November 20, 2003 Share November 20, 2003 I'll say, in order of preference: 1) good quality cotton bath towels. Zaino will recommend fieldcrest or Cannon which cost about $14 in S'pore. Forget cheap brands like "canopy" because your car will have lots of lint on it after that; 2) the orange super absorbent cloth available at DIYs. That's what I use but for that, you have to be careful to spread the cloth out and let it soak in the water from the car. Do not rub the cloth all over the body (windows ok) or you'll leave fine scratch marks on the body if the cloth picks up dirt. Remember to soak it in hot water first to remove the orange dye which sometimes come off; 3) good microfibre towels. This is usually used for buffing off the polish but can be used for drying as it doesn't lint. Not as absorbent as (1) or (2). I sell the neatitem microfibres and you can get them at Sun's Gift's and Souveniers. It's in the Marketplace at Turf City, unit no. #04-167. Never use those 3 pieces for $1. They're rough and will scratch your paintwork. They also lint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazziegirl Clutched November 20, 2003 Share November 20, 2003 There's this C300 chamois in a white tube packaging that I've seen at the Bukit Timah Esso, and some shell stations, it's around $9 and it's pretty good at drying. U might wanna consider giving that a try, not too ex and quite effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic November 20, 2003 Share November 20, 2003 windows use newspaper. it's the best, soaks up grease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledosun Neutral Newbie November 21, 2003 Share November 21, 2003 yep, can use the same clothe if you make sure it's not too damp. Otherwise, may leave water marks on glass if water is dirty. Newspapers are a good idea but if you've applied v-kool and stuff like that, don't use newspaper on the inside where the film is. Otherwise, may scratch.

Soya Supersonic December 4, 2003 Share December 4, 2003 i'm assuming the window you r referring to does not hv v-cool on the surface. i spray the 3M window cleaner onto newsapaper and wipe. very effective and leaves no streaks. for v-cool surfaces, onli use wsoft cloth & water.
