What chamois do you use?

As the title says, what chamois do you all prefer? I got one from walmart and it did fine for a few months then wore through. I am now shopping for a new one that will last longer.

How about Griot's?

I'm not crazy about using the Water Blade... it seems like I have to apply wax more often when using the Water Blade

Re: What chamois do you use?

i use the absorber on 2 newly painted trucks and they seem to get the job done right and not leave any scratches if you clean them out after using them and put em back in that bottle thing they come with!

Re: What chamois do you use?

Right now i use some 24+ year old synthetic chamois. similar to the "absorber" in texture. Im thinking about retiring it because the edges are starting to tear. My dad said he paid good money for it whenever he got it and i think he got his money's worth lol . Ever since i got my truck he passed the chamois down as a gift.

I have been thinking about getting this one and trying it out. I heard good things about their products so i might as well give it a try.

Re: What chamois do you use?

At the dealership when I was a porter we used Absorbers with cali water blades. I've found the more worn the chamois is, the better it works.
