Chamois and Towel

just wanted to add my review of the pittards dry soft chamois (9.5 out of 10) and sonus drying towel (9.5/10).

the pittards towel is expensive, but works very well. it does dry soft and requires very little special care. line dry, fold and put away when done.

the sonus drying towel is also very good as a followup to the chamois.

i also tried WHeel Wax, also works well, easy to buff off (9/10, but haven't figured out how long coatings last yet).

i also tried sonus vision glass and plastic cleaner. works okay (8/10) with the meguiars duo fiber glass super towel. i have yet to try something that cleans windscreen interior glass easily. but this cleaner/towel combo is the best i have tried yet.

Thanks for the review.

I also like using a chamois (synthetic) as a "pre-dry" step then following up with a waffleweave towel.

The wheel wax has a lot of solvent in it (cleaner) and does go on and off easily but doesn't last that long IMO. In my tests a good polymer such as Zaino, or Klasse (even NuFinish! ugh!) will last longer.
