What are you using for chamois?
 
Are you using synthetics or the real thing? What brand are you using

Synthetic. Its perforated with holes. Don't remember the brand.

I use the Absorber or a Microfiber drying towel.I hate the leather chamois,used them for years untill I found things alot beter.

Vader007 04-06-2009 09:00 AM

Microfiber only!

You are welcome.

Don't ever use a real chamoi, after one or 2 uses they will scratch your paint like you won't believe. Use 2 microfiber drying towels, one for the bulk amount of water and the second one for the remainder and to prevent water spots and streaks.

THE ABSORBER...and sheeting methods...

The Absorber. I gently pull it across the car's surface, not just go at it like it was a towel.

Along with numerous microfiber towels. One for the door jams and stuff. One for the wheels. One for the tires. One for under the hood and the exhaust tips.

I wash my car and take it out on the I95 and when I get back to the house I use FK1 425 with a microfiber towel.

Absorber FTW.

waffle weave microfiber is the best i've used so far on any type of car. I used to use synthetic chamois but it leaves streaks... very minor but it's there.

When I could wash the Z with car wash and water, I used a waffle weave microfiber towel as well. Now I have to use waterless car wash (water restrictions).

If water restriction are lifted, I plan on blow-drying the car with my "blow-n-vac" vacuum. It filters the air so their little to no chance on scraching the clear coat that Nissan uses in the paint.

blow drying is great! I do this for cars that bead and sheet water as it is easier than using towels and also good in purging water from crevices.

Yep; that my technique as well. Also, I rinse off at low hose pressure so little water beads up. Blow-drying is kept to a minimum this way.

What is your technique for areas with water restrictions (i.e. no washing vehicles with water)?
