Looks like you got some of that stuff at Costco. I just picked up that chamois today. What's wrong with it? I've been using various chamois from Costco for years and I think they're great. You got the sheepskin one, right?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1975607.phtml">Your earlier post</a></li></ul>

I've been using Armor All on my family's cars for more than 10 years, and it's never done anything.

Same thing with natural chamois - never had a problem, whether on silver, black, red paint, etc.

Point is, I think there are a lot of myths out there.

store down the street. All this talk about Menzerna, Zaino, and every other hard to pronounce, hard to find products that everyone raves about is a little silly...but I do drive a silver car. Maybe if I had a dark color I would experiment a little more and see some different results. I honestly think it would be a waste to go for the gold with my color car.

I washed the car, took the chamois out of the package, and tried to pull it across the roof. It was very tough to pull and left a trail of leather particles. Thinking back, I should've tried getting it wet and wringing it out first.

The problem is I didn't want any particles on the car before applying the wax. As it turned out, the all-cotton white towels caused the same problem. The costco yellow synthetic towels (to the left in the pic) worked great. I'll use the white rags for cleaning my hands.

I haven't been much of a detailer in the past. I took my former black saab viggen to a local carwash for a full detail a few times a year. They charged around $120 and didn't even use claybar before waxing

I didn't have the nerve to try the turtle wax spray on the dash. I used my detailer's brush and the shop vac to clean the dust from the entire radio and dash areas.
