Best way to buff off wax? terry towels vs chamois?
someone at a car detailing place mentioned that using a synthetic chamois is the best way to remove wax, but ialways thought a chamois was for drying the car pre-wax?

I can'e even imagine how to wax off with a chamie. the best is if you can find a cloth with no fibers. Totally flat, I hate those little terry cltohs with all the little thingy's hanging off, those will scrath your car. I like the wax the whole dange car with an aolicator, and then wax off with about 4 really smoth towels lumpd together, and then come back and rub out the indifrences, and the wax lines. It ussually looks pretty nice. |

Microfiber is by far the best way to remove wax or polish residue from the paint.

micro fiber is da shit, works really well if you hand wax, it works good on windows also for streaking!

For non-smokers windows take a clean damp chamois and wipe it down. Then dry with a clean MF towel.

While a chamois is commonly used for drying a car pre-wax, a synthetic chamois can also be effective in removing wax residue.

Never saw a shoe shine boy use a chamois,but certainly a cotton or similar based cloth that is soft to the touch,it can be moist if need be..yes,Terry towelling can be used..
