Fpv Chamois

[Guest cul08r]

Just thought I would throw a product review your way. Might help others out in the future, and allows others to comment on the same. Maybe we could dedicate a part of the site to this type of area?

Anyway, for chrissy I was given a FPV chamois, that some may have seen advertised recently in the likes of performance ford magazine. Its the one with the FPV GT print on one side. I am unsure of the retail price of the product.

I was disapointed with the performance of the chamois, with very little water capacity and an uneven water clearing ability. The streaking left on the car was quite aparent when compared to my original plas chamois. I am washing the chamois at the moment (again) after soaking and rinsing multiple times, but I am not expecting any change to what I have mentioned.

I will be giving some more product appraisals as they occur.

Use it a nd use it. They are no good until about 6 times.

Probably too much oil on the duco from following rattly commodores

Don't agree- if it isn't good after 1 or 2 times- it won't ever be any good. The plas chamois are one of the better for absorbtion- I always use one of them or a meguiars chamois and they are good straight from the packet (after following the manufacturers recomendations and rinsing it first of course).

Rinsing it simulates using it.

Throw the chamy away & go for the 150kph fly buy down the freeway, this tactis helped me learn to drive, I think.

Hi all,

Just thought whilst on the topic of cleaning/detailing etc I would pass on some info about the best performing chamois available. A fellow I know that owns a smash repair place have only ever used the perforated style chamois and now so do I they are by far the best thing available to give your pride and joy a streak free and water spot free finish without scratching. They are very hard to get and are very rarely sold via the normal retail outlets I'm told because it would eat into there sales for more cleaning products required to fix problems caused by poor quality products I got mine through a wholesale supplier, there huge approx 1m square for $30. Just my opinion but with the results I've had I thought it worthwhile to pass on.

Regards

If you could get more Kato, I would get one.

I bet there would be a few people around here that would.

A brand name or something would be great.

I picked up a Car Smart synthetic chamois from my local (Hornsby NSW) Auto One. They didn't have the Plas Chamois - my first choice.

This one is blue in colour and is great. Very happy with the results. Price was $21.
