This is better and cheaper than the Meguiars mitt. Lambswool are the ones to get.

Overall, waffle-weave drying towels are better than a chamois. This one is a good one to get. On the plus-side they won't cause swirls and fine scratches like a chamois would.

I'd definitely recommend the above shop for detailing products, they have really quick delivery, and are spot-on.

as a general rule, carnauba (however you spell it) is generally agreed to give a better finish but won't last as long when compared to synthetic wax.

some people use a mixture of the two, (carnauba before synthetic) to get a good combo of the two properties.

im probably a bit late but the best thing to dry your car is a rubber blade you can get them from most good car shops alos dont ever use anything that is silican based for cleaning inside or out cos if you need to paint your car at any time it can serusly mess with the fresh paint
