      For those who are interesting in knowing where chamois comes from, I see Gale attached a picture of the donor

          I dont care for chamois all too much but I do really like micro-fiber towles, they soak up as much water as a chammy, they leave no lint and they dont have the icky feeling when they are wet...yes, I said icky...whats it to ya?

                I do the interior with a leaf blower sometimes, here in dirt-road-town things get so dusty, that works best. You can do up under the dash but I'm guessing that's why I couldn't get a CD player to last.

                Then you use a garbage-picker-upper to retrieve all your receipts and stuff from down the driveway.

                About chamois smearing, there is supposed to be a little oil in them. A tiny amount of wash-wax in the rinse water works well to help them last. With a chamois, if you didn't quite get a spot of dirt when you washed, it'll re-moisten it and lift it off. terrycloth doesn't do that.

                These days any coin op car-wash will have a spot-free rinse, there ain't a trace of minerals in that water and you don't have to dry at all.

                  there is a drive thru wash here for 3 bucks, never a spot afterwards. their spot free works well, then they have some blowers at the end...I will park under their sunshade use their vacuums for free and dry off whats left...all for 3 bucks...I use my air gun o nthe compressor at home if its real dusty inside...

                  There are som many minerals in the water out here there is no way to wash at home and not get spots...bad spots that wont come off...almost have to wet sand to remove them at times.

                        Once he does, he'll start packing a lawn chair in the trunk and attending lots of car shows...
                        It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

                            dunno, answer this question. The last time your Mustang was worked on, did you sit in a lawnchair?

                              No, I sat in front of the computer BangShifting while I waited for Homer to call and say the car was ready. Again. For the 4th time.
