chinkeboi Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) KANEBO CHAMOIS :: Japans Number 1 Selling chammy (2002) Hi guys. For those of you out there who have used a Kanebo Chamois; no further introduction will be needed and you'd probably want to buy one up already! But for those who don't know: These chamois are far better than anything you've ever used. You think the Meguires one is good? It is, but it's of lesser quality and durability than this chamois. I've tried way too many chammy's but they're all crap and don't soak properly. These were sold in Australia about 10+ years ago but not anymore for some strange reason. My dad bought one 10+ years ago and we're still using it today (though after 10 yrs it has become a little torn lol) After a long long search I have found an oversea's supplier: SINTONG TRADING. They were hard to find as they were rebranded to AION PLAS CHAMOIS years ago. These images accurately portray the effectiveness of the chamois (and I Kid you not!): GROUP BUY CANCELLED. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THESE WERE SOLD LOCALLY. YOU CAN PURCHASE THESE AT SUPERCHEAP AUTO Cheers, Ben.

chinkeboi Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, Thanks for the quick replies. The price I'm guessing would be APPROXIMATELY $20 - 25 delivered. Keep in mind you are paying for japans BEST chammy. These are like no other. People lucky enough to still have one. my parents got one ages a go not sure where from though. I have tried a few difffernt brands but no good, inlcuding all the expensive ones from autobarn. -- a ns.com memberI will PM you guys the price asap when I get a confirmed number.

MANWHORE Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 The Aion chammys are still available at supercheap auto for about $8 for the small one. There's nothing special about them. it's good, but no better than a kenco. In the comparison image, it's compared to a towel. Of course it'll dry better.

mikk999 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) the kanebo plas chamois kicks ass. my parents got one and its something like 20 years old, but still in great condition. works so much better than the crappy ones i have too. someone check out super cheap auto and tell us if they still stock them and prices.

chinkeboi Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Many people are already aware of how good these things are. I have never seen these anywhere before. I will go out to supercheap auto today to check if they indeed stock these. If so, the group buy will be cancelled for obvious reason. I am not here to profit on this group buy. The reason for those costs are for postage reasons as they are coming via japan via singapore. The size of these are (large) 680x430.

Munkyb0y Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 so what's the deal? can you get these at supercheap? are they called aion or kanebo ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/149579-eoi-japans-no-1-chamois/#findComment-2789617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANWHORE Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) I just checked my chammy sitting on my desk. I bought 3 of them, because I only ever use them twice, then chuck them. Aion Plas Chamois Synththetic Made in Japan Sole importer Nichimen Australia Ltd Size 340 x 430 Bought 3 of them last week at supercheap auto. Woolies also used to sell them. They're good, but no different from the kenco one. $8 each from supercheap. Big and small sizes available. Big one is like $15 Edited January 3, 2007 by MANWHORE Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/149579-eoi-japans-no-1-chamois/#findComment-2789642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinkeboi Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) LOLL MAJOR UPDATE: GB CANCELLED Just dropped by supercheap now: Large ones are $15.45 Small: $8.25 my apologies. These are GREAT... they last for years. all those who have had a kenabo chammy can tell you that its literally lasted them 10 years or so! These are rebranded KENABO chammys! The new name is AION PLAS. I ordered one from singapore which is why the price is sitting at around $20. The Kenco ones are full leather. These ones are made from a PVA sponge which are used in cosmetic applications. They are softer on the surface of your cars paint. And I would say the quality is better. thicker bigger and known to last many many years. This thread i guess can serve as a reminder that the kenabo chammys were rebranded to AION PLAS. Cheers, Ben. >> This group buy was organised by me to try to benefit the members of SAU. I was unaware that these were sold locally. Hence me cancelling the group buy. The brand is relatively unknown in Australia but these are top chammys with jap quality.
