Most autopians don't use chamois because it can remove the wax. Try an Absorber, Water Bandit, Charisma towel or large Microfiber towel for drying. All of these items can be hand washed and air dried. You shouldn't be getting much dirt on them- if you do, you didn't wash your vehicle very well. Unless you have a leaf blower available, those are the choices.:up

I use a synthetic chamois and I just put it in the washing machine with some soap. Comes out clean and does not hurt the chamois.

Totally agree with the previous threads. Try not to use genuine chamois and wash your drying towel of choice in the washer with just a bit of liquid soap. Laters

Most recommend washing a chamois with a mild shampoo. I concur with Don and the other posters, above, I would recommend another approach to drying. I love the blower. Its quick and kind to the paint.

How do you dry hinge area of jam?

How do you dry the hinge area of the door jambs? I use my air compressor.

I use old micro towels with various tools to clean......Kahuna?

 

[imported_firebird]

Should the door jam hinges be greasy? I never liked doing that area cause of the grease. Or should I clean the grease off so it's nice and clean? Dothe jams really need to be greased? I don't think new cars are greased.

 

[imported_detailchick]

Yes firebird older vehicles can get dried out and need grease but not gobs and gobs of it :biggrin: like you will often see .I always clean those nasty door jams up . It makes the car look like new again!

 

[Old Pirate]

Leaf blower or old MF towels.

 

[imported_firebird]

So maybe if they haven't ever really been cleaned, wonder if it would be a good idea to "de-grease" the hinges, clean and "re-grease" the hinges? I guess I'm not asking how to clean them or what to use...was asking if grease should be removed. My '69 Firebird I think I will keep the grease added but just clean the newer vehicles and leave the grease off. Thx DC!

Generally a leaf blower but I have used compressed air many times to get into those hard to reach areas.
