Where can you get a high quality chamois - i find halfords ones are crap and dont last long and takes two or three wipes to get one section dry.

I've used that flash rinse thing, then a quick blast up the road - works a treat

I left my chamois wet, wrapped tightly in a carrier bag. A month later I thought something had died in the car

In the Bin...

I allways dry mine out and then leave it soaking in hot water as i wash the car...

After you have washed the car the chamois is nice and soft a ready for action

Ive always hung mine out on the line to dry after use and then just wet in under the warm tap before use.

Little tip and something nobody else has mentioned, dont wring it out, squeeze it instead

Well thats what ive heard and it kinda makes sense aswell when you think about it, if your wring it your going to be making it weaker and rip it quicker aren't you?

Makes sense to me anyway!

I Chamois this every day at some point if you buy a decent Chamois i use Absorber's and they are great ring them out squeeze them they are great just do not let them dry, best to keep in the tube they come in it keeps them dam, rinse them well and if they are dirty wash them and it can be a pig to get the soap out,
