Appreciate practical advice plse on best way to treat a good chamois wash leather. Bought for me, it's cod oil treated, very substantial, but I don't want to let it get into same state as its predecessors - cracking and leaving smears on glass and paintwork etc. How best to start off and how shld it be stored - hanging or kept wet in some sort of container?
thanks

If you are really wealthy, Frost do a chamois wringer! www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=9393&fro...r

thanks for replies - wrings hands at thought of buying £69 machine to do it! Wonder if a professional, like Stunorthants, uses real or artificial leather to achieve best result?

>>>uses real or artificial leather to achieve best result?
Forum search 'Car Wax'. Plenty of info there.

Well, I've used an Autoglym Aqua Dry Synthetic Chamois for years & it is fantastic as here: www.compare-buy-save.co.uk/c/669autoglymaquadrysyn...l

Best way to treat your leather is to save it for doing your house windows and take it nowhere near your car. Synthetic chammies are far kinder to what they're wiping and last for ages. They don't absorb as much at first pass (pity), but the kindness factor is important if you want to avoid fine swirls and other forms of micro-marring.
None of the obsessional car detailers use a chamois. And for good reason. Nuff said!

Funnily enough even the "Genuine" Chamois agree that the "synthetic" type are better, they swear they're better for thier health!!
