Ditch the chamois - they are hard to clean, dry out over time and generally useless at absorbing water. The best towel I've ever come across is a waffle weave microfibre towel. Here's the description...

This heavyweight waffle weave microfibre towel is capable of absorbing many times its own weight in water, making it ideal for drying off after washing and mopping up excess lubricant when using a clay bar. The generous size of this towel means that you can dry most cars without wringing out once, and the ultra soft fibres significantly reduce the chances of adding swirl marks when drying off or mopping up. Another great feature of this towel is its tag free design, which further reduces the chances of adding fine scratches.

£9.95 - but well worth it, and easy to keep clean. Everyone who's bought one so far has loved it - they are also great for soaking up excess lube when using a clay bar.

years ago i used to work for a valeting company and we used to buy in "flunkeys" which i thought were good

now i realise they are not as good as we were led to believe, i have never ever been a fan of real leather versions, its not that often we use a chamois anyway. i have a few cheap pound shop synthetics kicking about and a water blade, but its very very rare that we actually need them (our chamois are nearly always used to wipe down door/boot shuts after cleaning and that is about it !
