I dry it out, as if left wet it tends to go mouldy!

gurnE

As your fellow countryman say, leave it damp and it'll go mouldy!

I dry mine out

Mr Brannen

Nooooooooo, I put mine back in the plastic box it came in damp and it is awesome, you need to keep them supple

Katie

keep them dry...If they get rough and yucky....run them under a warm tap with a bit of hair conditioner.....you may laugh....but

I find the best way to use a Chamois is to put it in the bin and replace it with a Meguiars Microfibre Towel. Loads nicer and you can wash it!!

cheers guys

so just get it wet before use then??

cool, been letting it dry, but at first if dont seem to soak up all the water, and it is anto glym one

adamS2RST

oooo get you!

If its the Autoglym synthetic one then it should just be stored in its tube damp and then rinsed out when you're ready to use it. They are designed to be stored damp.

If its a true chamois ie made of animal hide then it should be dried out once youve finished using it.

i dont use one,, i just you an aquablade

gurnE

If it's the autoglym synthetic one throw it away because it's shit

Dog

Well thought out and constructed statement there!

Never had any bother from mine and its 3 years old now. Am contemplating moving to waffle weave towel for drying though.

those aquablades are an arse to use though i find - fine on bonnet, windows, roof etc. but any panel with a kink and its crap!!

must be technique

GARETH T

it is in the technique mate,,,, im no good with them,, but a good friend is a pro

Katie

works down the arc does he gar

gurnE

It was, direct, to the point and perfectly punctuated. What more could you ask for?

If you meant to point out I had not given any reasons for my opinion then I shall go into more detail.

It absorbs far less water that a real chamois and left smears and little yellow bits all over my car.

Used it about twice before lobbing it in the bin

Bag o' wank imo

GARETH T

no i wasnt thinking of him,, but yes i know someone down there

Rhys

Those aqua blades are very good, but still need a Chamois for the corners etc and things like door shuts and under spoliet etc.

Spiky if you got a AutoGlym one then yes you can store it damp. Just make sure you clean them before and after use. Oh and during of course

Katie

quality!!

Dog

There ya go much better! Horses for course I guess!

Spiky i am a fully trained Chamois manager Leave it wet at all times , not soaking but damp, if you buy a decent one it should come in a plastic tube, NEVER wash it in the machine as the soap will take FOREVER to come out, the easyiest way is to roll it out or put it in a vice (sad i know) thats if you put it in the washing machine,

Hope this helps

mike

Mr Brannen

Thank You, and who said they might smell if they are damp.........Who gives a fuck , its to dry ya car not make the paint smell nicer

MikeR

Use clean water after rinsed it should not smell.,


Cheers mike

use an aqua blade for the easy bits to get most off, then do the rest with a chamois. i tend to buy a new one from halfords every month for 3-4 quid, they dont have to be big, just to get thel bits the aqua blade missed

and where are the easy bits on an elise???

Mr Brannen

Too right Spiky mate, a blade aint no good on that car, use the Autoglym one, it comes with a Clear and Green box.

Spiky, chuck the autoglym one in the bin, i can get you a propper one from a leather company i deal with at work

well theres that bit on the front where the badge is, part of your doors, erm... the windscreen... erm...









get a less complicated car then!!!

Joris_FRST

don't use a chamois use a normal towel,

a real chamois takes off the wax,

if you use a normal towel the shine will stay much longer.
