Default Cahmois - good or bad?
Anyone here used a Chamois to wash/dry their car?

Someone told me it will cause swirl marks, true or not?

Default ugly
buy a leather chamois. not as absorbant as the foam ones, but less likely to scratch your paint.

htf do you pronounce this thing anyways?

Use an electric leaf blower. It works great!

Waterblades rule. I used mine, and follow-up with a cotton towel.

Default Get a P21S drying cloth. Drag it straight across the car. It's very low friction
and does an excellent job. Also use a leaf blower which is great for body seams, grill, wheels, etc.
