Chamois' are the bees' knees! I don't think we get the genuine ones here, but I do have a synthetic one that I use, and they cost about ZAR40 (4AUD) so the cost to replace when it eventually dies is cheap I'd be keen to know how the real deal performs so keep us posted
Never dried off a car yet... no point with our weather system.
Call me old fashion but I have just ordered a genuine leather chamois from New Zealand 3.5 sqft for $14.34 plus $6 postage, I reckon that is pretty good. I have never liked the synthetic ones although a lot of people seem to get on with them alright. Anyhow if any one is interested I will let you know when I receive it if it is any good. The company is The Original Chamois Company . Yes I know not very exciting but makes cleaning the car easier.
I have given up on buying so called chamois leathers and now use a synthetic one recommended to me by a relative who managed a car finishing and detailing business.I can thoroughly recommend the Vileda Flunky Synthetic Chamois. Vileda Flunkey Car Cloth Synthetic Chamois | eBay

Yes I get mine from NZ,I get the Fawn skin Chamois,I find they are softer and finer than anything made from older hides,only issue with them is they do not last that long,can't remember what I paid for my last ones,one of which I have put in a very safe place,that f_*#ing safe I can't remember were it is.
Secret is to wash it every now and then, and keep it moist....don't let it dry out........

When you call me Mr Donut, etc, are you referring to my shape, or to my ability to carry six donuts and two cups of coffee at the nudist beach?
He does have a very big mouth though....

Same here.Rain for weeks = constantly dirty, unwashed automobile.
