What is a Chamois ("Shammy" or "Shammie")?Updated 5 months ago

A "shammy" or chamois is a type of cloth that was traditionally made from the skin of the chamois goat-antelope, but these days is often made from synthetic materials. It used to be popular for drying and polishing cars and other surfaces because of its absorbent qualities. However, compared to modern microfiber towels, chamois are less effective. They tend to scratch surfaces if particles get trapped underneath, and they often leave streaks and smears. Modern microfiber towels, on the other hand, are designed to be much more gentle and efficient, providing a better cleaning experience without the risk of scratching or leaving residue behind. The MAXL SoftSorb Drying Towel is newer and better technology than other modern microfiber towels and drastically outperforms these older towels. https://maxl.com/products/maxl-drying-towel
