Editor's Notes

March 21, 2019:

Traditionally, a chamois was made from sheepskin; today, there are seemingly endless varieties of synthetic types available, so we decided to keep a mixture of both. For the true leather experience, there's the Ever New Mega, which is capable of absorbing up to five times its weight in liquid. Note, though, that as with many natural options, it tears more easily than synthetics and thus requires a relatively soft touch. As for microfiber choices, we left The Absorber by CleanTools, an ever-popular selection, and added Meguiar's Water Magnet. This latter has a waffle weave texture that experienced auto detailers recommend, as the little pockets help keep dirt and grit away from your paint. And for those who are more interested in style, we selected The Shammy Towel from Rumpl; it's absorbent, attractive, and big, but it comes with the hefty price tag to match.
