i leave my dry out and then wet once i want to dry a car off ( yeah i know is sounds weird )

but should i leave in water until the next time i use it? or leave to dry?


whats the best way to use one???

cheers

steve

 

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

 

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

I dry mine out

 

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

 

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

 

u should rinse it out when u use it then dry if u leave it damp /wet itll stink in a short time lol

 

dry it out!

pretty sure thats not right, but its what i do and works fine. !

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

Rich

 

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

 

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

 

works down the arc does he gar

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

quality!!

 

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

Rich

 

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

 

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

 

Use clean water after rinsed it should not smell.,


Cheers mike

 

use sheep skin instead ya welsh coooont

 

jock

cheers matey

tho mine didn't come in a plastis tube, will have to find a replacement

Huggy Bear

tried that, but then i have to wipe the shit off off afterwards

 

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

 

andrek12345


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

 

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

 

 

mates rate???

 

cost price for my bestest butty

 

Have always rinsed them clean and then kept them damp in a sealed polythene bag.

 

get it tonight then???

 

i'll do that for now i think

 

week friday is my next delivery m8, we will go half each as they are about 5 foot square (nearly as big as u lol)

 

Spiky


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!!!

 

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.
