I was just looking at my chamois today on one side is rough and the other side is smooth does all chamois come like that.

 

After it is wet what does it feel like? Do you always wet the chamois and wring it out before you start drying the car? I have found that my chamois needs to be replaced after about 2 years of use.

 

yes, normal...
mine are only slightly rough on the rough side- both sides work well for drying.

 

So the rough side of the chamois won't scratch the car.

 

Maybe an unorthodox approach to drying your car: USE A LEAFBLOWER!

No joke. It's fast. It's easy. And you don't have to touch your car at all.

Just don't use it early in the morning or late at night when your neighbors are sleeping. If you have a garage, do it in there.

 

I have black S2000. Purchased it used in November. It has swirl marks. I tried all kinds of products. Then I tried Zaino. Don't waste your time on anything else. I just went to the dealer and they thought my car looked better then the one on the showroom floor. They were asking what I use and writing it down on their little note pads. I have no visible swirl marks. I rarely wash the car. Each evening, I use Zaino gloss enhancer spray. It is also anti-static and repels dust. Spray it on and wipe off with a 100% made in USA white cotton terry towel.

Does it have to be a MF towel from Classic Motoring? Or will any do? Don't mind me, just bored and trying to be a jerk here

 

I probably have at least 15 microfiber towels and this one is the largest, thickest and the most absorbent. I can do the entire car without stopping to wring it out. I can't do that with any of my other towels. If I don't use this towel, I have to use at least three of my other towels to do what this one will do.

I have learned the hard way that I DO NOT recommend anything unless I have personal experience with the product. I know that Griot's Garage also sells a similar towel, but I don't have any experience with it.

 

Pakshack.com sells nice ones too.
