I recently read that natural chamois should not be used to dry your car because it strips the wax.

Is this true?

If someone knows the facts of this matter, I would appreciate an explanation.

Thanks in advance.

same here... and i have used just about every synthetic and natural chamois available.
always prefer the real thing- if it took the finish off my car, it would not look like the black glass that it is!

I believe the natural chamios will strip the wax because of the friction between the wax on the chamios itself. The best product that I have used for drying is:

The problem is, I can't remember where I read this. I think that I read it on a car care website recently when I was doing research on car washing.

I will try to find the exact location of this information and post the url here.

However, I don't think that it explained why natural chamois strips wax. Could it be the natural oils? I'd like to know the exact reason...

Tell ya how old that story is,I'm now 45 years old and I remember hearing that back when I was 16 and bought my first car.

The "Absorber" from AutoZone, $9.95 is the best damn "chamois" I've EVVVVER-EVER used. I'll never go back to a real chamois now... it lasts longer, stays soft, absorbs more water... 110% must have.
