That's a detailing cloth, i.e. for general cleaning or applying wax (although applicators are better) or buffing wax - but preferably use different cloths for different purposes.

 

For washing, you'd need a sponge or a wash mitt. Meguiar's has a microfibre wash mitt which I am using. I like it. [:)]

 

For drying, you can use traditional chamois. I use microfibre again. The waffle weave type are especially suited for drying, e.g. Fibre-Shine's waffle weave drying cloth.

I'm using Meguair's wash mitt for washing while using Autoglym's chamois for drying. I would say that both serves me well [thumbsup]

Hmm, seems like Meguair wash mitt is great. How much did you guys pay for it? Saw at carrefour, i think retailing at 19.80.

Fibre-Shine products can be found at Stamford Tyres outlets. They also carry other brands of mf towels. Other places to find mf towels include Carrefour and various auto-detailers. Can also buy online, e.g. Mystic Maid.

 

But do take note that mf towels can vary a lot in quality. Some mf towels are terrible. [lipsrsealed]

I use a sponge for washing, mom's washing brush for tyres, chamois for drying, microfibre for detailing, toothbrush for difficult areas.

Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe is the work horse in my detailing routine, I find their performance:durability:price ratio to be pretty good. There are many other microfiber towels better than this but they cost much more.

if u purchase at stamford with DBS eSSO card - u can get 15% discount

However, stamford have more varies of mF cloth.

I bought most of my MF cloth from stamford.

 

I use fibershine:

- washing mitt - for washing

- waffle weave - for drying

- wax application and bluff - for polishing (Klasse AIO)

- meguiar application pad - Klasse sealant

- meguair MF for bluff.

 

for the wheel, i use 3m MF for the rims only.
