How easy are these towels, meg's, tesco, waffle weave etc to wring out? Should you be doing that or do you have to get a new dry towel each time your current one gets wet?

<< has only used a chamios before on cars really.

Once they usually get wet, ill go over the whole car with one to get rid of most of the water, then get a new one, go over it again to dry some more, then clay bar the car and use another one to dry it after spraying it whilst claying it. Then after a polish ill go over it with another one to get rid of all the particles left on it aswell. So i usually use about 4-5.

They are more aqward to wring out but One pass on each panel and the waters gone. You have to wring the towels out long ond thing as you cant wring the out when they are to bulky when folded to much. But you get used to it. Depending on how much water is actally on the car One towel could dry the whole car without wringing.

I just got a big MF from 'Cleanyourcar' and later the same day a two pack of MF clothes from Aldi and they are indistinguishable. The Aldi pack was about £1.29

I always clean mine anyways before i use them, and ive never scratched the cars using them, although, i did when i had my silver 1.4 sx mk4 ibiza, i used the blade theing to try to get ice off the roof, coincidently it scratched the f*ck out of it woopsy.

I beg to differ. I am sure I can find scratches and swirling on any car that has had a blade used. It is just not possible to avoid it as they are crap. They are not particularly soft and it only takes a grain of sand to get trapped and there you have it . I wouldn't even use it on the windows. Being silver it is much harder to spot swirls and scratches but they will be there if you have used the blade.

Ok then, i sharnt use it again the mrs car is platinum, so that doesnt show many scratches anyways, and my old ibiza was metallic black, which did have a few scratches, but these were only light ones which could be polished out. The current car i have, the arosa, is a pearl metallic blue colour, this car im not really bothered about tbh, as its going in january anyways.

Ahhh... untrained one... Tesco do microfibre clothes for less than a pound each! All you need to do is walk away from the motoring section and walk into the household cleaning section.

Same cloths, different packaging, half the price

Stop telling everyone Rob ffs! I thought i was the only person who knew that!
