Apologies for the mistake, I clicked 'report this post' thinking I'd be able to say WHY I was reporting it, but no such luck!

Anyway.

The link in the first post of this thread is no longer valid.
The basic site exists, but I couldn't find where the report is stored.
As that link and the report is the basis of this thread, the 'stickyness' is compromised by it not being available.

Found 12 MF's for �4.97 delivered on e-bay, will see what they are like.

P21s or Zymol Carbon?

Del Boy · BMW 325i sport individual

the MF's of e-bay for �5 were cr@p, Costco have a pack of 20 large MF cloths for anout �10 ! they are good.

Wouldn't dream of using anything but MF's, i even use them for engine detailing.

Not all MF's are the same, they are available in various sizes with different length piles.

So throw away the chamois & mutton cloth, you'll not regret it!

Beware of imitation, To be honest I would not buy a micro fibre without feeling it first, just so much variation. The ones I have started to use are from a local cleaning supplier and are around �2 each and they are excellent. Never over tumble dry them either, air drying is best. Each to thier own on this one I think! Confused

Washed mine down today just before it rained FOR A CHANGE lol
Also used my NEW microfibre drying towel but didn't seem to dry well at all streaks/smears, and seem rather large ad awkward to wring out
Went straight in shed and got my trusty Autoglym synthetic shammy out.
Just how do you use these towels effectively Embarassed

Hi mate, who's drying towel have you got?
With the Duragloss ones I lay them on the panels a just drag them, letting the
cloth do the work,but have to admit to spraying some Aquawax (or other q.d)
on each panel while still wet, then go over with a second polishing cloth for a final
buff.It can sometimes look like it needs further buffing, but if you leave it it does
dry strak free on its own.( you can over buff) if that makes sense.
It did take me a couple of attempts before I was happy with the procedure.
Bear with it, and I am sure you will find that both your technique and finish
will improve.
Also, if it's the first time you used your drying towel there are some brands
that suggest washing first. Most are better after a couple of washes imo.
Hope that helps.
