Flunkey's

What do the detailers on here think about Flunkeys?

Just wondering as i don't think i have ever heard anyone mention them on here

Highly likely to scratch like a chamois. I can't see a difference between the vileda cloth and a basic chamois, apart from the marketing?

Really? I always thought they were one of the safe things to use to dry the body work? Personally i like using Flunkeys. I know drying towels seem to be the newest thing people are using but don't you need quite a few to dry the whole car?

Always used them no scratches on mine .

One drying towel is all you will need to dry your car. I reckon you could dry two cars before you need to ring it out.

This is what I use and it does the job.

I can't see a lot about them, except on DW from 2006. I can't comment truly as have never used them, but they appear to be a chamois = scratchy scratchy. And as below, only one is needed to dab dry a car that is well protected.

Scratches or swirls?

Neither.

Not to argue with you, Davo, but there will be marring from using any drying implement. Even the very best towels leave marks however careful you are. Only touchless drying (0PPM water and a blower) leaves no marks.

Well it cant be bad as using a sonus der wunder waffle drying towel. Those things absolutely butcher your paintwork.

 

[JD]

Agreeded. I won't even use them on the wheels or glass. Demoted to tyre and arch dryers.

cut them up and use them with your glass cleaner
