Chamois - What to Buy?

[eXc]

Hey guys,

Just curious what's the best chamois to get?

What brand?

What type (synthetic/leather)?

Where to get it?

I have a cheap synthetic and it's a waste of time. Grandad was here the other day and lent me his leather one that dad used to use when he was a teenager (read :it's 30+ years old) and it was awesome! Too bad the container had lost it's label over the 30 years, so I don't know the brand.

Thanks

Chris

I find that the synthetic ones from supercheap are pretty good for the price. Though there are leather ones for around $30 I believe. Don't know the brand though, sorry.

Get an Oats brand one. When my mum was doing Enjo thats the only thing that was better, was the chamois. We have the enjo one tho, works ok, so if the oats one is better, should be good. I think bunnings or BigW would have them.

Enka- fil (brand that's about 30 years old??) Orange container??

regarding chamois

as a detailer i have used a lot of good chamois and a load of utter crapp. the best chamois are the enka-fill or oats. perferated ones are very absorbant, but hold dirt, by far the best ones to get are the new microfibre ones there expensive but they are awesome.

it is vital to take car of your chamois so they take car of your paint. after every use rinse it out.

and another thing any one whi uses an enjo on a car should be SLAPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont mean to sound daft... But why?

Keeping in the back of your head I know how they work

sweet thanks guys I'll see if I can find someone that sells the enka ones

[eXc]

found them!!

So what size do I want? haha I bought the small one (37x43?cm) should I have got the big one? (50x50 or something)

They only had one type - original or something.

I havn't opened it so I could go excange for bigger one

Yeah i use the enka-fil one too! youl find it easier and a lot quicker to dry your car with the bigger one, the small one would be as good, might take a bit longer thats all.

how much did you end up paying for the enka one eXc? and where did you get it?

[eXc]

The small one was $13, the large was $23.

I got it from "Auto1" not sure if it is a generic parts store in other areas or not? (I am in Newcastle NSW)

It's a orange bottle, so it's pretty obvious.

The Enka and Oates are the same thing. I got the impression from this thread they were different, but Oates is the brand and enka-fill must be the model or something.

Just thought I'd say the enka one I bought works great, used it yesty for the first time.

I don't see why you would want the bigger one.
