AhHa Bill! I remember AND use them for windows, mirrors, tile, all types glass anywhere!
Now, do you remember - the KOZAK Auto DryWash cloths? They are still available and do a great job. They have a camel logo and are a soft, brushed fabric with something impregnated into the cloth. You use it folded - NEVER scrunched up - change the fold as it gets dirty. Shake out. Re-use again and again and again. After using the KOZAK most all car dirt is gone, then you just hose the car off - or wait for the next rain - and the car is all shiny new again!
No I do not own stock in the company ... I remember my Grandfather using the cloth so its been around awhile and doesn't need me to plump for it!

I'll bet that few members have ever seen one, or know how it is pronounce, or where original material came from.
Apparently that's a bet you'd lose, Uncle Bill! Before I read the thread, I knew these things....I remember my brothers using them on their cars. I could use one, come to think of it - last time I washed my car, I left it to dry, and sure enough, it dried spotty and streaky. Sigh.
But unlike....um....was it of troy? someone here, anyway! - I quite happily wash my car myself. It's kinda nice to be out in the sun, working away - and like doing the dishes or your laundry, you have something to show for the time you spent: Look! that which was dirty, is now clean!
I wonder how much a chamois goes for these days? Bet I could find one at Crappy Tire (as my brothers and I call Canadian Tire, the store whose branding is "more than just tires" or something silly like that! kind of an extremely glorified hardware/garden/appliances store).

Tommy Hare, a giant of a man, 's father became rich while his son Tommy and I were frequenting the road houses of Jefferson County. Ed Hare, when not getting us out of jail, would spend his time polishing his collection of vintage Ford cars, but only with a chamiois. He pronounced it sham-i-o-us. But our young ears heard shamanus. This secret was part of our rite-of-passage. Tommy Hare, bless his heart, is still in jail today. Milo.
