    I don't use a chamois any more - i use a microfibre (waffle weave) drying towel and pat dry it. They're more absorbant and less chance of swirls (my car's black and very unforgiving) - 'bout the same cost as what you paid too.

    Found the Maguires website which have two microfibre cloths.
    It makes sense patting the car dry to avoid scratching.
    Thanks for the feedback guy's.

    Been doing some research on these waffle weave microfibre cloths you
    have recommended and there seems to be heaps of them.
    Is there any particular brand you recommend.
    thanks again for your help.
    Neil.

    I'm very lazy and just get stuff delivered to my door .
    You won't have any problems with waxit, but you will find heaps of stuff to spend money on if you browse for too long.
