      I like chamois's myself. I have one I bought for like $10 at Auto Zone called the Absorber I believe. It works nicely and because you soak it before you use it, it does not seem to scratch the paint surface. Maybe someone else has used these?

        Maybe I'm one of the few, but I don't like chamois's. I prefer to use a high percentage cotton/fabric blend towel. Doesn't scratch and soaks up water very well. No streaks either.

          i think you're supposed to use a clay bar, but i just was my truck every week, sometimes more, and wax it every month or so, never take any wax off, it just comes off in time. but yeah if u want to start with a clean pallet use a clay bar kit. It seemed to work really well on kolins old T/A. Or you could use an automotive paint cleaner. I used to have this stuff my friend got from his Saturn dealership called ACRYSOL or something like that. worked great, but it takes you right down to the clear coat, so you need to wax it right away after using it. and don't ask where to find it, ive looked all over with no luck.

            100% USA made white cotton bath towel, thats if you can still find one.

            For drying, a leaf blower.

                  He was asking what you use to buff the wax and polish off once it dries guys.

                  I use microfiber towels usually, but lately I've had a LOT of success with a really soft cotton bonnet on my porter cable to buff waxes and polishes off.
