[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 134693, member: 3108"] I'm kind of old-fashioned in that I enjoy feeling the curves and creases of the body under my hands as I dry my car. If it sounds kind of sexual, it kinda is (blush emoticon). I stopped using leather chamois almost two decades ago. It is really hard to find a good quality leather chamois, and without proper treatment they fall apart quickly and leave residue and little bits all over the car. I moved to synthetics which were better, but they are also inconsistent in their moisture absorption and oil retention causes hard spots which can make scratches. I found a product at Canadian Tire many years ago called "The Absorber", and I have one for every car I own. The one pictured is twelve years old, and still works just as good as the day I bought it. Keep it in the container and it is always moist and ready to go, even after being in storage all winter. I have had many people see me at a car wash and ask what it is, because it is fast and very effective. With a dark colored car, I have to be fast in direct sunlight, and four swipes will take care of the whole top of the car from bumper to bumper. The water retention is surprising, I can do the whole top portion, all windows and mirrors, before I have to wring the water out. It takes maybe five minutes to do the whole car. Even oil and grease just rinses right out. Fantastic product that I would recommend to any car guy. [ATTACH]17676[/ATTACH][ATTACH]17677[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
