chamois or waffle weave drying towel?

[Slug172]

Which do you use? Which is best/safer?


Ive got meguiars gold class chamois and meguiars water magnet. I bought the chamois today cos everyone i spoke to kept telling me to use a chamois but then ive just read lots of stuff on the net saying not to use one!

Waffle Weave, pure excellence.

Meguiars Water Magnet

The water magnet doesn't seem very soft though?

Pakshak Waffle Weave here. Soft and soaks up water a treat.

are chamois's a bit iffy to use on the paint then??? i've always used one & havn't noticed anything, but now you've got me worried lol
How much are these waffle weaves things then? and where can you buy them?

 

[Turkish]

They arent as absorbant as a waffle weave in my experience and they're not as soft either. I've never really had problems as such with chamois other than the synthetic ones leaving streaks and the natural ones drying up or rotting.

I still use the AG Sythetic ones for the intial wipe on my glass , and for door shuts, wheels and engine bay.

Like Loony I find the WW's work better all round, quiker drying, more absorbant, (I can dry the whole car with the one I have without any need to wring it out let alone keep wringing it out like a chamois), and leave the paint streak free, while being alot softer.

I'm a big fan of your chamois to be honest; if it aint broke don't fix it

Lol, ok, so i thought i'd give my chamois a proper wash in the washing machine, it came out like a squid, guess i'll know not to do that in the future, lol.

Forgot to ask, where can i get a pakshak waffle weave from? any shops, or just online, rather goto a shop.

 

[Rich]

Some Halfords sell the Meguiars ones now.
