Ha! You never used it before? Its a must when washing your car. Watermarks suck, especially on darker cars.

Btw only the proper $20 ones (ie leather) do the job. The shitty $3 jobbies are nothing more than a damn cloth which don't hold any water at all! And trust me I've tried them all!

I might need to buy a leather one then lol

I hate that yellow oil stuff that some manufacturers put in their chamois'. I had one that wouldn't wash out for months! Left oily dots all over the car, and it always looked terrible.

Might have to try a Maguire's synthetic one? I thought that's the one I was complaining about, but i'll check.

hey...nothing wrong with the $2 chamois :)

Synthetic and also "great for car cleaning". Found it in a box on the floor at bunnings warehouse.

I use a chamois to soak up the water then wipe away the residue with a microfibre cloth, leaving that dry shiney look :P

Well mine cost me 3 bucks from Super Cheap... and its actually good. I saw others for 20 bucks im like "na too tight."

Kk ok... 3.50 cents! I splashed out :)

*steps back* :P

Seeing as this isnt the wasteland where we can whore might as well add some information, if any, to this reply.

For people who do not know what a chamois looks like :)

I could take some shots of its performance but im not that bored...yet :P

Haha. Another vote for the synthetic. I got mine in K-Mart and it works fine.

We are currently looking at getting some Skylines Australia Chamois made up for sale to the forum and club members.

Haha cool count me in...my meguiars one is wearing out..need a new one...perhaps write to meguiars and get them to do a deal for SAU...GB for members in return for the SAU logo on it :) rice to the max!!!

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
