    5th time will be day after tomorrow.

    EDIT: It may be the 7th time they've touched it come Saturday. I forgot about the times they just shot more dye in it and said bring it back again....

      Hands down by far the best there is right here. When I washed cars in highschool and college we had these issued to us by the parts department (some other brand but the same thing). My step-Dad was a die hard expensive chamois user, and I got him one of these for christmas or something and he was an instant convert.

        Chamois? Really?

        Waffle weave microfiber. 16 x 16 should do the trick.

        A CCC squeege works well, as long as the car has been washed properly.

        Or your leaf blower...

        Wash, clay, polish, wax, protectant.... Repeat in 3 months.

        How many of you own a foam gun?

            Okay who's tried the waterless car wash? That sounds too good to be true.

              I'm a fan of the California duster, it works quite well.

                        The traditionalist in me is still voting for the Chamois, although gas powered things that blow seem favored by the rest of the panel...

                        Perhaps I have trouble embracing the "new". It took me forever to get into CDs and I am still not MP3'd!

                            My leaf blower is battery powered. Keeps the two stroke stink out of the house if you're going to use it for basic domestic tasks.

                              Makes sense...I favor battery powered.

                                We wash our fleet cars nearly everyday. The micro fiber towels are best used to to finish up, especially on glass. They streak badly if they are soaked. If you do use towels, be careful not use really rough ones as they will scratch the rather soft clear coat. Also, when you wash your towels do not use fabric softener as that adds a waxy coating to towel fibers that prevents it from soaking up water. Buy them new when there is the big sales, or just get them cheap from.the goodwill, like I do. When they become too dirty to use for car washing, they can lwad a second life for car fixing.
